Isn’t prayer an amazing thing? Just stop and think for a moment. The God of eternity, the God who spoke and the world came into existence, the all-powerful, all-knowing, and always-present God, listens to me!
Main Points:
1. For a new Christian, prayer can be intimidating. We hear others pray, and they seem to do it so well. We think we don’t know the eloquent words necessary to talk to Almighty God. We wonder, “Am I doing it right?”
2. Prayer can be spoken out loud. It can be a whisper. Prayer can be given silently in our hearts. In all of these ways we can be assured that God knows and that He hears.
3. Prayer is not about the right words. Prayer is about sharing what is on your heart with God. “Help me” is a prayer. “I need you” is a prayer. “Give me peace” is a prayer. “Guide my steps” is a prayer.
