Engaging with God in Prayer

The fact that prayer exists is proof that God is eager and willing to listen to us. No matter what we're going through - whether we're feeling weak, sad, or in pain - we can turn to God and know that he is there to listen.

Jesus, the Son of God, prayed often and never took prayer lightly. He prayed before making important decisions in his earthly ministry, and he was always in constant communication with his Father. We see this in the way he chose his disciples, and in his willingness to submit to death on the cross.

Prayer is the providence of God through which you and I commune with God Himself. Throughout history, we see people like King David and Jacob turning to prayer to communicate with God and seek his guidance. No matter what season of life we're in, engaging with God through prayer can help us to get through it.

Don't worry about having the perfect words when you pray. Remember that God is your Father, and he understands you beyond words. The most important thing is to be authentic and open with him.

Now it's your turn to ponder: How often do you engage with God in prayer?
