First of all to answer that question...God views prayer as communication with him. To know God we MUST communicate with him. Next question So why don't I? OUCH! I tell myself all the time I need to pray and read more so why don't I? The kids are at school, just me at home. I say that I don't think I pray good enough. But no one is around to hear me but God. I know he isn't gonna critic me prayer as to how it sounds and flows.
As far as reading his word I never know where to start. That is why I have decided to take my study bible and the scriptures from the weeks services and reread them and then see what other scriptures go with that scripture. And follow them completely through.
Matt 22:37 Love for God is Spelled TIME! I must spend time with HIM.
Luke 10:38-43 We need much time with God before we attempt work for God. We must prepare ourselves with time with God. Before we go do HIS work. Otherwise how do we know what HE wants us to do.
John 15:5 We must abide in Him to bear fruit.
It seems that sometimes my abiding in HIM is just when I need something. OUCH! God Forgive Me.
I have Got to start Giving God My ALL.....

My random thoughts on Sunday 09-26-10 AM
Wow, as I looked back on my notes today from a couple weeks ago, I noticed some thoughts after scriptures. They were formed as prayers so I went back and read those scriptures to find why I thought those prayers at that time. The Lord is so good. Even though I fail HIM, HE never fails me. Anyway back to my thoughts and scripture.
I Thess 5:17 Pray w/o ceasing. We quit praying to soon. I sometimes get frustrated when I pray. I have known people that have very elegant prayers. I feel mine sound silly, never say the right thing, never know what to pray. I have decided at those times just to Let God pray through me, or just praise God He knows the prayers in my heart. Don't give up just worship the prayer will come. I believe this is why I don't pray as much as I should I get frustrated. I never pray aloud b/c I think it my prayer is all wrong. That some how people will judge me on the way I pray. I know crazy right. There have been a couple of times where I have prayed for some one over the phone or something but not normally.
Jeremiah 29:10-11,14 Talks about bring back from Captivity...Freedom. I wrote this in my notes..It was really good that God brought it to my heart on this scripture... Ifeel freedom in my heart today. I didn't know the heartache of holding such hurts and angers from what happened 8 yrs ago would cause me to not feel freedom.
Acts 12:5 Peter in constant prayer by the church...And I wrote the following...Lord I send out prayer for Dallas and Matt. Lord they ar emissing in church today. I miss Dallas's joy for YOU. I pray that you stir his soul to return to YOUR love. Lord keep your hand upon both on these men.
This is my prayer after I reread and thought about all of it again. Lord help me to walk right before all men. Let your light shine through me in the darkest of times. Lord I believe Dallas will come to you and ask for salvation. This is the desire of my heart. That we will be together in our walk with you. I also believe that I need to be in constant prayer and word with you.
