Prayer is simply communicating or having a conversation with God. Prayer is not limited by time, for in 1st Thessalonians 5:17 it says to “pray continually.” Prayer is not limited by space, for in Psalms 139:9-10 it says that even “If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” God is Omnipresent (He is everywhere at all times.) Neither is prayer limited by specific words. Even if you don’t know how to pray, the Lord will understand, for He is also Omniscient (He knows it all.)Prayer changes things. James 5:16 says that “the effective prayer of the righteous avails much.” James 4:2 says: “You do not have, because you do not ask.” Sometimes when we spend time in prayer, we find ourselves short of words. May I suggest praying the Word? Use the Word of God as a guideline. Make them your own; pray for yourself, for those around you, family and friends, for your church and your leaders, for your country.
May I recommend that today you pray this verse in James 1:5 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” Salomon, the wisest man that has ever lived, was given by God the opportunity to ask for anything that he wished; he could had asked for riches, or fame, or power, but he asked for wisdom.
Many blessings!
