The Power of Prayer

I can't sleep, so I don't see how blogging can be a bad idea. I'd like to talk for a moment about prayer. In the past I have viewed prayer as a tool to communicate with God; but recently I have been thinking about prayer as more than just a tool - it is God's way to change my heart.

If I have a continual attitude of prayer, as Paul suggests, then I should allow that attitude to pervade every part of my life. This attitude is not only my suggestions and thoughts being sent to God, but also it is my request that God make His will known to me by guiding my prayer thoughts. If I truly want Him to be glorified in my life, then each prayer will be a direct link into His will. My thoughts continually become less my own and more of God's.

So let me say this: Change my heart, oh God. In my daily walk with You grant me the peace of knowing Your will. In my devotions grant me the burden for your people. In my life grant me the opportunity to see Your face. In all that I do, may Your glory shine through.
