Improved prayers
October 13, 2017
I sometimes feel my prayers are pathetic, repetitive. Truth is, they are. I lack clarity, boldness. I don’t even know what to ask for, or how I should ask. I just see the problem, my hurt, others suffering. Revelation 8: 4 says that angels spread sweet smelling incense on our prayers. My prayers arrive to the Father smelling better than when they left my lips.
Gratefully, I pray before I know whether I’m saying it all right. I pray while confused, not even knowing an outcome that is good. The Holy Spirit knows, directs and fills in my unknowns, the angels spread incense, Jesus speaks in God’s ear. Daily, multiple times, Jesus speaks my name in God’s ear.
For that reason, my friend, we pray on.
