special about prayer. there certainly is.
an open communication tool
a direct line
not an extension
or being put on hold
prayer
is when we get down to the nitty gritty
talk one on one
with God
thanking
praising
worshipping
adoring
confessing
we pray in intercession – for others we know and don’t –
family
locality
community
country
continent
world
church
homeless
lifeless
old
young
poor
rich
the ones with everything
the ones with nothing
We ask for things
for things to change
for strength
for wisdom
for de-cern-ment
for help in a relationship
or indeed a situation
for healing
for letting go
AND
He Listens
He cares
He hears
He answers
We might not hear or like what He says as we prays
BUT
He hears
He listens
He answers
WHAT PERFECTION! WHAT A GOD WE HAVE! WHAT A PERFECT GOD WE HAVE!
