Prayer. . .

Prayer is our way of communicating with the Father. He desires to hear us pray; to ask for help in different areas. What God does not want to hear is begging. As parents, non of us like when our children whine and beg for things. Well guess what, neither does our Heavenly Father. He wants you to speak and share with Him. So often I've heard of people say that they screamed and yelled out to God while going through struggles. We as parents hate it when our children scream and shout at us, so what makes God any different. I mean, he hears you when you speak to Him. You don't need to scream at Him!!!!!!!! So what do we as Christians need to do? We need to seek, and we need to knock. He will take care of the rest.

Scripture Reading Matthew 7:7-8, Jeremiah 29:12
