In the shadow of my prayer…
Prayer: we sometimes underestimate the power of cries from a heart where God is the sovereign ruler! Prayer can at times be seen as an act of submission or weakness. However, just the opposite is true. From prayer comes strength, honor, and vision. God longs to hear our deepest desires, dreams, wants, and needs. His ears are always open. As we fall to our faces or to our knees, God’s presence is right beside our weeping hearts. Can you feel him when you pray?
God does not require words of eloquence in prayer. He longs for a genuine heart to speak to him like a father. Speak to him, dear child, as a friend. Don’t you know he is the friend that sticks closer than a bother!?
The Lord has written love letters to his children in his book, The Bible. The most beautiful thing to him is when his children study, memorize, and then repeat these powerful words back to him in a heartfelt prayer. Speak out loud sweet child these blessings and words that were written in red!

I pray Lord, may I always mediate on your precepts. I want to delight myself in your statues. I do not want to forget your word. It is precious to me! May you abundantly bless me for walking, living, and keeping your word! Open my eyes Jesus. I want to see wondrous things. I am a stranger here. May I always find your commandments! Do not hide them from me Lord God!
-Psalm 119: 15-19
(formatted to a personal prayer)
