Your perspective in prayer.

14 Sep Your perspective in prayer.

Sometimes our conversations with God are fruitful. Other times prayer feels like talking to a wall.

🎯But in fact, we shouldn’t be surprised by such variation. Why would we expect our prayer life to remain uniform when we ourselves aren’t the same every day?

🎯How we speak and listen to God depends on …

🎯Our understanding of who God is: The way we view the Lord changes the way we hear Him. For example, if you see God as a loving Father, you will hear His encouraging voice and accept His loving discipline.

💥But if you see Him as a harsh, demanding Father, then you may feel as though you can never live up to His expectations.

🎯Our attitude toward God: If we come to the Lord with a proud or rebellious nature, we’re less likely to hear His voice or accept His authority.

💥However, when we have an open or curious nature, we’re more prepared to hear—and joyfully receive—what He is communicating.

🎯We should always remember God’s promise that: “We are the people of [God’s] pasture and the sheep of His hand.”
