If you are like me, many times daily, people pop into my mind to pray for. I could be doing dishes, feeding the dogs, showering, and yes, even using the "facilities" when this happens.
Lately it seems as though this is somewhat irreverent as, shouldn't we always have an attitude of reverence, thanksgiving and worship while praying?
Also, do you always have the same time of the day that you pray, never wavering? Not me. It could be at 3 P.M. or 7 A.M. when He puts someone on my heart.
Of course there are times of fervent prayer, where I feel as though kneeling and full focus (try anyhow) on The Lord seems to compel, or push me to my knees. Many times there is silence in my mind and there flits a million people, places and things that ALL need prayer so, then the mind goes quiet and I ask God to please hear what is on my heart. Those are truly "breakthrough" times for me as, it does not always come easy.
I know we have some awesome prayer warriors here and, hope to hear some things that you practice when it comes to prayer.
I've not been given the gift of "tongues" or the "prayer language" (NOT that I haven't asked Him for this, because I sure have!) Thoughts go to the fact that God sees/hears our hearts and what is in them is what is important to Him. So if praying without words at all, just thoughts...knowing that He already knows your thoughts, does He still hear? I say YES He does.
Anyone wish to share their prayer habits? Would love to hear some other's thoughts on this as, it is SO important.
God bless and Happy New Year!
