Prayer

Some think that praying is something we do when we want assistance

If we have a problem, we pray for the answer

If we want something, we pray that we get it

If we want something to happen, we pray that it does

Because that’s how God knows what we want, right?

We pray to let Him know how He should help us

Although, that’s not exactly how Prayer works

God wants us to come to Him with our problems

Because we need to stay dependent on Him

The bible says that the fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much

But we don’t want to view prayer like a genie granting wishes

God made us, and He knows everything about us

I mean everything

From our wants and desires

To our problems and struggles

So we do pray to God when we’re in need

But we also pray to Him because we’re in need of Him

We need His guidance and strength, which comes through communication with Him

And once we have communication with Him through prayer and reading the Bible

He can guide us in the direction He wants us to go

I’m not saying you shouldn’t pray for the things you want

Just remember that God knows what you want before you ask

And He may have what you want in His plan

But his plan is going to be the best thing for you

And if you can stay confident in that fact

You can pray confidently for His will to be done
