Why pray if God is omniscient? Why tell Him things He already knows? Why ask Him for needs He can clearly see? When I pray most times the answer is not dropped down to me like a feather from an angel. Why pray?
Always I come back to the truth of who I am. I am God’s child. I need to be reconciled to Him–once and continually. For every moment, for everything, for evermore.
Prayer is the way I stay near to my Father and include Him in my life. It is how I stay in His presence for guidance and comfort. It is how I express my despair and yearnings and hope for the peace only He brings. As I grow in Him, prayer becomes less about asking and more about aligning with the One who wants to be my everything.
I cherish this place with God and already love the place He’s taking me. I like the simplicity of worship, praise, acknowledging Him, and living with collected expectation of what He will bring into my life.
How great is the love the Father Has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1
