When it comes to prayer I used to treat God like a piñata and
would only take a whack at it when I wanted something. Then as I became we’ll
say smarter I knew that prayer was a conversation with God and I knew that in
that conversation I needed to thank him for who he was and then after that I’d
still mainly ask for what I wanted only more carefully. Still my prayer life
was not as it should be. It was not until I read a book on the sovereignty of
God in which the question was asked if God is in control why ask for anything
that I really started to figure this all out. What is prayer? Prayer is not so
much an act as it is an attitude, an attitude of dependency, dependency upon
God. Prayer is a confession of your weakness, and of helplessness. Prayer is
the acknowledgment of our need and laying it out before God. Prayer, real prayer is coming into the
presence of God, with a sense of his majesty with the realization of our
nothingness and unworthiness compared to Him. Pretty simple really.
