Prayer - Our Greatest Privilege

Prayer.  One simple word that can pack such a powerful meaning. What does it mean to pray? What is the right way to pray? What determines the correct method - place, time, words?  How can a simple act get so complicated? 

The ladies at my church are engaging in a Bible Study - The Battle Plan for Prayer. We are beginning with a heart that is not anxious about 'the right way' to pray, but asking God to deepen our grasp of His love as we learn to boldly approach Him in a renewed devotion to prayer. 

For several weeks, this blog will be our weekly place to come for a visit and be refreshed in the lessons we are learning. Quotes and notes that we can hold close in our hearts to deepen and enrich us will be shared. Please feel free to stop by and linger with an open heart on the subject of prayer. May your heart be stirred and drawn into a more intimate walk with our Lord. May prayer become as natural as breathing and may God work through our prayers to help bring about His kingdom and will in our hearts, homes and generation. 

Instead of being intimidated about prayer or feeling guilty about not praying enough, our first realization is that prayer is a true privilege. It isn't a Christian task to do. Through prayer, God chooses to communicate with us. He wants to show Himself mighty in our lives. Prayer is simply talking to God. 

Prayer can accomplish what a willing God can accomplish. There is no greater privilege than being able to personally talk with and speak into the ears of the Almighty God. There's not an issue we're facing that prayer cannot address because nothing is too difficult or impossible for God to handle.

But prayer isn't just about having our needs met. Prayer is the greatest legacy we can embrace or leave behind. Every generation needs courageous believers who will trust God at His Word and continue the legacy of faithfully standing in the gap and seeking His heart in prayer. 

Please stop by again as we share and grow in the Lord through prayer.
