God Desires Our Prayers
“Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Mark 1:35
Why would God want our prayers? Because we are important to Him. So important that He assumed human form to demonstrate how far and wide and high and deep is His ceaseless love for us. But God isn’t our magic genie. He’s the Creator of the Universe. So when we pray, we affirm that He is in control. Then we can cast off the weight of the world, and let God shoulder it and work things out.
In His Word, God continually reminds us to come to Him. To tell Him about the lows, and to thank Him for the highs. God knows what we need before we pray, but He wants to hear us admit our dependence on Him. He wants to hear that we trust Him to act.
Life is so tough at times, that it can feel difficult to fully love and trust God. So pray when you don’t know what else to do. Whether at your desk or behind the wheel of your car … on your knees, or prone on your living room floor … using full sentences, or broken moans … cast your cares upon God. Know that He understands your pain, and that His heart hurts for you.
For King Jesus
