Prayer does marvelous wonders if you just talk to him. But, I will tell you and advise you to not do what I have done in the past. Do not just talk to him, and ask for help when in trouble or in need. Talk to him during the good and bad times. Thank him for the good, and ask for guidance during the bad. It's not respectful towards him, if you take advantage of him in that way. That is how I see it, you may disagree with me. However, if we all just asked for God's help and prayed when times got tough we would not be thankful. That goes back to my previous post. Prayer does so many things, and trust me... He is the ONLY one that listens all the time. He hears each and every one of your prayers. Not a single one goes unheard. It may not be when you want it to happen, or when you think it should happen. It happens when he knows it's right, or it may not happen at all because he doesn't want it to. Respect his wise ways, and do not question. For he knows what is right.
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith - that you, being rooted and grounded in love," - Ephesians 3:14-17
Strengthen your faith, and have the constant prayer you know you should with your Father. If you feel that no one ever listens to you, you should talk to him. I know he listens. He listens every time. He can strengthen your spirit and your inner being if you just pass your life over into his hands. Live your life for him, and never deny him in front of others. Bow your head and pray with him. Have your special one on one time with him regularly. The most important relationship you can have, is with God. Make it special. Have a strong relationship with him, and pray. Prayer is magical, and can do more than you can ever imagine. If you do it for the right reasons.
"And to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." - Ephesians 3:19-21
Now, I understand that this post and the previous one are somewhat alike. I have done plenty of posts based out of Ephesians, and I will broaden here within the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy, and I wish for you to all continue reading. May God's grace be with you each and every day, from now and forever more. Amen.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.
