Sometimes I struggle with prayer and even questioning if I am praying correctly but then He reminds me that prayer is just actually speaking to Him throughout my day about everything. I use to just follow what I thought where certain guidelines to help me pray but I've learned that He doesn't need rehearsed prayers or that I even get the scriptures right every time. Yes, we do need to learn God's word and what it says so that He can live in our hearts to change us and encourage others with it, but when I am in alone time with Him, He just wants me to talk to Him simply about what's on my heart.
I can be hard on myself sometimes when I can't remember a scripture word for word or if I make a mistake when I am praying but I think it is because I want to speak perfectly when I talk to Him. Many times I have troubles with the words I want to say and then I get embarrassed and nervous, but I've learned here at RMI (Restore Ministries International) that He just wants to be my companion, my Husband and my best friend.
So I know that I can be myself and I know that He knows what I am trying to say when I can't say it. He just makes me smile and I thank Him for being so patient with me and loving me no matter what I tell Him or how I tell Him. My prayers are heartfelt conversations that I have with Him all day throughout my day no matter what I am doing. I know that He loves to talk with me and He is always there ready to listen.
This is the relationship with the Lord that I never thought that I would have. I never even really knew that I could have one like this with Him. With so many hurting people in the world, it makes me so sad to see that they don't have Him in their lives because if they did, things would change for them. Many of these hurting people are my family and friends so I just need to be patient and let His love shine through me.
"When you pray, don’t babble on and on as the Gentiles do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again." Matthew 6:7
