Prayer can be formal (The Lord’s Prayer), or informal, It can be one word (Jesus) or many, it can be short or lengthy. Prayer has many aspects: confession, intercession, praise, supplication, and thanksgiving. There are many postures of prayer, standing kneeling and lying prostrate. Prayer is amazing; I stand in awe thinking about the exchange between me and Him. Don’t overthink it just be yourself, relax, let go and let the Holy Spirit have His way.
When we pray we need to come to him humble, in faith, confessing our sins, asking for forgiveness, and forgiving others. Prayer requires a much needed purging of our thoughts, understanding, feelings… it’s relinquishing, and it’s surrendering our mind, our very core and trusts Him. The more we pray the better we can distinguish is voice . In prayer we are giving Jesus our desires, worries, anxieties, failures, hope dreams, and in exchange He gives us assurance, security, safety, confidence, deliverance, healing…priceless treasures. In prayer you feel saturated in His love.
