‘What’ We Pray
1Timothy 2:1-2 (ESV) First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
One of the beautiful things about having an active prayer life is that it allows us to approach God with hopeful expectancy. An active prayer life also matures us to a place of realizing that – whatever may be troubling our heart – God really cares. ‘What’ we pray to God is important, yes, but it is you and me above all else that God is most concerned about. Can God hear our faith and trust in Him emanating from what we pray about, or are we complaining and whining as though we don’t know Who we’re praying to? What we pray about matters to God for the entire body of Christ, and what we pray has every reason to be saturated in our gratitude for God being Who He Is. Selah.
