Picture of Prayer
Living Hope Covenant
Church is doing a program called 40 Days of Prayer. Pastor Greg Ralston
preached on the subject.
Have you ever tried to
draw prayer? That’s what this week’s picture is. My picture is of what praying
looks like to me. Notice the exact place where the prayer is taking place isn’t
made known. I am often unaware of my surroundings when I am in deep prayer. Not
a good time to be driving when doing this kind of God communication. Although,
I’ve found that the most beautiful places, that would seem to give the most
inspiration, can be a distraction when it’s time to get down to business.
When I pray thoughts, feelings, and
requests can float in and out, back and forth. I’m not a linier thinker, and my
prayers often reflect that. There can be a total wash of God’s presence, or no
feeling at all. The times with no emotional response often turns out to be the
most productive. Later in the day or week is when I notice the change in
me that I needed, or the prayer answered. I think that is God showing me it’s not
about my emotions. It’s about a real God, getting things done.
Anyway, here is the
website for the 40 days of Prayer, if you are interested in strengthening your
prayer life.
