A God sized Hole(Communicating through Prayer)
There is no doubt, we are all searching for something, we all have this whole inside that needs to be filled. But God puts this hole there for a reason…it is meant for Him and Him alone!
We try to fill it up with so many things, sex, drugs, relationships, possesions, some even do it with good works! But whether it be selfish or noble things, nothing can fill a God sized whole except God. Something happened, many decided that because we have knowledge of the Word of God, that we don’t need God anymore; that we are too smart for God now…if you take a look at what has happened to public schools over the last 60 years for example, we can conclude that this is WRONG(before prayer was banned from schools, the worst disciplinary problems were chewing gum and talking in class, after the fact it became kids getting shot and using drugs on campus,ect) If anything, we need Jesus more than ever!
I talked about the power of faith a couple of blogs ago, and faith is the beggining of any relationship. Communication is also critical…and the way to communicate to the Lord Jesus is prayer. But do we only talk to our loved ones to ask for things? Or sometimes do we say thank you, I appreciate you, you are wonderful, I love you? God is no different!
One of the best things we can pray for is that His will be done…His will is for us to have life eternal in His Kingdom. Also, what is His will for us individually? When we open up the lines of communication to the Lord, we are opening up great new possibilities by openly inviting Him into our lives…what Jesus wants for us is always far greater than what we try to reach for and accomplish on our own power alone…and we end up having far more joy than we would have had before. Nothing compares to the promise we have if we beleive in Him and His Word.
Here is some scripture for you, this ties in very strongly with I am trying to say:
Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ Matthew 22:36-39
