Prayer is an important tool in our relationship with Jesus. It is the best way for us to communicate with Him and a way to ask for help not only for us, but for others.
When you pray, are you praying with a selfish heart or with a broken, surrendered heart? Keep in mind that Jesus loves your prayers and listens to all of them no matter how small or how massive; but, instead of praying for worldly possessions and achievements, e.g. new car, pass the test, raise at work… pray for spiritual gifts, like wisdom, guidance, grace, mercy and peace. These gifts will guide you in your search for the items on earth you desire. These spiritual gifts will help you understand why you did or didn't receive something, help you realize you didn't actually need it, show you where you could use that money/time/expertise elsewhere and so on. Remember, as I posted earlier in the week, "…God is ok with you having things, but He is not ok with things having you…" Don't let your prayer life get caught up in "me, me me" but rather in, "guide me, guide me , guide me."
