My prayers are working

So recently, I’ve made the commitment to pray to God on a daily basis. I am trying to wake up and pray, but I have so little time in the mornings that I just don’t get the chance, so I pray in the afternoon and also at bedtime. Can I be honest with you, I have been having my prayers answered consistently and it has only been about two weeks. Let’s discuss what I’m praying about and let me share with you a few things that I’ve learned about prayer.

I pray about my spirit

            So I had been praying for no more than three days and it dawned upon me, I have problems controlling my spirit. I’m wild! I let my spirit go forth and back on a daily basis, I’m angry, I’m confused, I’m inspirational, I’m just all over the place. That is not a good way to be. A good way to be is to be set and focused on what you need to do, not necessarily what you want to do. Let’s put it in example right here, I want to play pool for hours on end, I want to workout, I want to join the military, I want to play guitar, I want to be rich, I want to own my own business, etc. etc. you see where I’m going with this? I want to do so many things because my heart leads me to each of these places, but I know that it might not be what God wants me to do. Instead of trying to do what I want to do, I need to ask God to show me what it is that I need to do. Ultimately, God is the one who knows me best and helps me all the way, so I need to ask God for his direction on a daily basis. God knows better than me, God sees more than me, God is better than me, so it would be wise, if I were to ask him what it is, that he wants me to do because he loves me.

            I am also angry, I have problems with my anger and I don’t blame it on anybody else but myself. I have grown up to be an angry person and that’s not something that God would want from me. God wants me to be happy, smiley, to live up to the nickname that my friends have given me. My friends nicknamed me sunshine because I smile all the time. I want to be what God wants me to be and being angry all the time is not good.

            I chase after dreams for like 3 months and then quit. Right now I’m in a stage in my life where I’m chasing absolutely everything that gets in front of me. That is not good. The only thing that I should be chasing is God and his will.

I pray about my prayer life

            I’ll be honest with you guys, before just recently when I started praying daily, I didn’t pray at all. The bible says that only the heathen don’t ask God about the day. How humbling is that? I have been called a heathen by the bibles standards just because for the most of my life I did not pray. So, I have started to pray to God about my prayer life. I pray that God may make my communication between him and I strong. I want the Holy Spirit to always be convicting my heart about anything and everything

            I also pray that God may make my prayers holy and good. The bible says that people actually do not know how to pray and we actually are so lost that we need to be taught how to pray. It was very funny because immediately after I asked God how to pray, my mom showed me a sermon where the pastor talks about how to pray. Now get this, the reason why my mom showed me that sermon is because the day after I prayed, is when that sermon aired on the radio. Isn’t that wild?

I pray about my church life

            Again let me be honest with you guys, I have a hard time going to church, not all the time, but most times I fail to show up. It’s not because I don’t want to, I really do. But rather it’s because I just get lazy. I get lazy to get up in the mornings on time on Sunday and just put on my suit and tie and go to church. So I have started to pray about it.

            I pray to God to give me the strength to show up in church because I know that church is where God would prefer me to be. If there is one place that God wants me to be in, it has to be church.

I pray to God to give me patience

            Often times, I don’t have the patience to withstand what is coming. I’m not patient and that is not good. In the bible it says that good things come to those who wait, and I want to wait on God’s response before I do anything.

            All in all, the list is literally endless about the things that God has spoken to me when I have prayed. I could go on and on about these things. However, now it’s your turn. Pray to God on a daily basis, submit to him consistently, go to church, read your bible, go to God and see what he has to say. God is always thinking about your best interest, so don’t forget about that. God wants to see you happy and close to him, so always chase after him.
