Knowing God and being
able to talk to Him will give meaning and purpose to our existence. God truly loves us. (Romans 8:38-39) He is always there, his hand outstretched,
waiting for us to seek Him. He has so
much to give us and wants the opportunity to do so (Matthew 7:11). Spending
time in prayer is one way to be
alone with God. Our Lord spent much
time alone in prayer communing with God.
Many times He withdrew into the mountains to pray and rest. In prayer we can communicate to God our
innermost thoughts, needs, desires and thanksgivings. Talking with God will
help you to feel closer to Him and rely on Him for all things, knowing that: “The
effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16(b).
Make a resolution to
slowdown and pray more fervently.
