A DIALOGUE WITH GOD
Do you know
What PRAYER is
It is simply
A DIALOGUE WITH GOD
It is simply the opening
Of our inner most thoughts
With God
It is SHARING the POSITIVE
In our life
It is sharing
The negative
In our life
And it is sharing
OUR deepest darkest
Inner most secrets-with God
(he KNOWS them anyway)
In fact
That is WHERE my prayer life with God
BASICALLY BEGAN
“........
Since she had ASKED the Lord
For him” 1 Samuel 1:20
(READ 1 Samuel 1:9-20 to get the whole picture)
Today we learn something fundamental-
About prayer-from Hannah
ASK-ASK-ASK-........
Ask-you have to ask God
For what you want
Before you can receive it
You see-Hannah had wanted
A SON-
And she PROMISED GOD-if she
Would receive one-
She would dedicate him to God-
She asked-she received
And the rest-as they say
IS HISTORY
Samuel went on
To be a great great PROPHET
What is it
That you NEED in your life?
Maybe you should ask GOD for it
Maybe you should begin
To PRAY-for it
To have a DIALOGUE with God-
The worst thing that can happen
Is that God says no
And then-you would have found
THE BEST THING any way-
PRAYER-in a dialogue with God
And the SHARING of your life
With him
“For anyone who asks-
Receives
For anyone who seeks-
Finds
And to the one who knocks-
The door will be opened” Matthew 7:8
“Whoever WELCOMES a prophet
As a prophet
Will RECEIVE a prophet's reward
And whoever
Welcomes a RIGHTEOUS PERSON
As a righteous person
Will receive a righteous person's reward” Matthew 10:41
So open up your heart-your mind-
And your soul to God
BEGIN a dialogue with him today
Will you receive
What you want?
I don't know
I never did
But I received
WHAT I NEEDED
To make me
A FAR better person today-
Than otherwise
I would ever have been
And I became CLOSER
With God and TO OTHERS-
Than otherwise-
I would have ever of been
And isn't that
THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
To become a better person
To GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE
With GOD AND WITH OTHERS
So begin A DIALOGUE WITH GOD today
A dialogue of sharing-your thoughts and feelings
You won't be sorry
That you ever did
