21 Days to Life-Changing ConfidenceSample

Have you ever been praying and thought, Welp … that was a C minus prayer time at best, but probably an F.

Let’s be clear. God is not a schoolteacher grading our prayers as pass or fail. He simply wants us to commune with Him. I’ll illustrate it this way. When my kids were babies, I breastfed them. After my babies would finish nursing, they’d be so calm and quiet—content in my arms. I did not expect them to do anything for me; I just wanted to nurture them. That’s how God sees our prayer time with Him. He wants us to be still and know that He is God.

If you feel like you always run out of things to say in prayer, then you don’t fully grasp the purpose of prayer. It is more about resting than reciting. Simply put, prayer is not about your performance. Prayer is about His presence. Rest and enjoy being nurtured by God.

"Anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven." MATTHEW 18:4

DECLARATION:

I am nurtured by God. Prayer time with Him is my rest, comfort, and care. I am confident that the most life-changing part of prayer is His presence.
