Despite the fact that there may be millions of people praying to God each day, he delights in hearing your voice, for he has no duplicate of you. This is the reason you should always put yourself into prayers. Get personal with the Lord, knowing that you are talking to someone who is actually listening to you; a rational being, who feels. Don’t pray as though God is a computer.
Some folks are too stiff and religious in their prayers! “O Lord”, they begin, “Thou art so great and I am so small and insignificant in thy sight”; as though God only spoke “King James” English. Then when they lift their hands to sing a song of worship there is hardly any expression of emotions. Don’t be that way! Be passionate with the Lord.
God called David a man after his own heart (Acts 13:22), because among other things, David was so passionate with the Lord. When he prayed, he poured his soul into his prayers and this reflected in the several inspired Psalms he penned for us in the scriptures. David was a man who knew how to pray with emotions, this is why he enjoyed such a fellowship with God.
You have got to learn how to unwind yourself in the presence of the Lord. If you are yet to experience the kind of praying where, out of love, awe and reverence, you break down in profuse tears before the Lord, then you are missing too much. If you have’nt prayed till you were full of the spirit, laughing, dancing, prophesying and singing in the spirit, you have got to make up your mind to experience it.
Pray with your heart and your emotions and involve the totality of your being. There is an awesome blessing that comes from having such intimacy with the Lord.
SCRIPTURES: Psalm 42:1, James 5:16 and Psalm 63:1-4). Glory to God!
