SO IF YOU DON'T, WHY NOT?
If you don't pray that is? What could keep you from it?

But what if you mess up? Who's going to know? God knows all about you anyway. Besides, you don't have to pray out loud. You don't have to pray in front of others. You don't have to tell anyone else that you pray.

But if you don't, you're missing out. Big time. We all have the audience. He's there all the time just waiting for a relationship. You win everytime you go to Him in prayer. God's not on the other end thinking, "Boy, that was a stupid prayer." He's the great encourager, the God of second and third and almost ad infinitum chances.

Pray for others; pray for yourself. Be specific. Otherwise, how do you know if He answered your prayers? Pray often. Give thanks. Worship Him. Tell Him all.

And then stop and listen. It may take awhile. But you will get an answer. Not a loud voice, in fact I've never heard Him in an audible voice, but I've heard Him. He's directed me.

Where to start? Jesus tells us how we are to pray and He cites The Lord's Prayer. If you don't know it all, just say as much as you do. And go from there.

I'm praying for anyone who reads this entry to strengthen his/her pray life. Prayer is an enormous outlet. An enormous relief. An enormous comfort.
