I had some insight from the Lord this week walking and talking with Him. I’ll be transparent and tell y’all that I don’t pray often enough, and when I do I treat it like a chore and often am lacking the passion behind my prayers. I get overwhelmed with the brokenness of this world and the things I should be praying about and just try to push it all to a back burner. I’m desensitized because there is so much chaos everywhere, I’m just used to it like it’s normal.
So, For that moment last week I was actually praying with a broken heart walking and talking . I was frustrated so I asked God why He even requires me to pray ( because I feel like I fail at it ) because He can do all things on His own without me already!
He showed me/told
me that He wants me to pray for others because it gets me away from being self focused . We’re not focusing on ourselves when we’re praying...it gives me a chance to be in your shoes and feel your pain. When I pray, I’m giving those burdens I feel for the weight of the world to Him. I don’t need to hang on to them or push them to a back burner .
He doesn’t need my prayers, for the Love, He created EVERYTHING by His Word...but still, He invites me to participate....why?? not because I’m good, but to give me an opportunity to participate in His glory and not be selfish for a minute. What a gift to be invited into His work! And I have been taking that for granted!
Thankful today that I have opportunities to lift people around me up in prayer to a God who is worthy of ALL my worship. Bless each and every one of you this morning in His name, the most beautiful name I know.
