Our prayer life should emulate a dialogue, not a monologue. Too often we turn to God only when there is a crisis or when we urgently need an answer to something. He wants us to talk with Him, not to Him. Through prayer with God, we have the power to hear His voice. He speaks to us more than we know but are we listening? Have you ever had a conversation with someone that was all one sided? It was them speaking and you just listening? No two way conversation, just you basically nodding your head every two minutes? That is how God feels with us when we only talk to Him when we want something and or when we want Him to do something. Would you continue a relationship with a person if that was the extent of it? All about them and nothing about you? You knowing everything about them and what they desire yet they have no idea about you? Of course not. We need to be so thankful that we have such a mighty God that shows His mercy to us each and every day. He desires to be more than our prayer go to guy. He wants to be your prayer partner. Two way conversation. Two person relationship. Listening and speaking. Giving and receiving. That is the base of a good, solid and firm foundation of a relationship. That is what He desires and it is what we should as well. Ask the Lord to forgive you today for sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves, we neglect Him. Honor Him today with your actions, thoughts and prayers. You will be blessed for it!
Colossians 1:3-14
