Ok well as you can see I havn't posted on here in quit a while. To be honest I have a little phobia of blogging lol! But I am getting over that! Well ...this year has been soo great already! I am so thankful for all the awesome things that have already happend this year! But anywho..I have been thinking a lot about prayer lately. Pray is def. something I think I need to work on. I belive that God hears and answers my prayers. And I do have faith when I pray ,but sometimes I wonder if I have enough faith and confidence when I pray. I read scriptuers like John. Ch. 17 and I am just amazed at how certain and passionate Jesus was when he was praying to God. His faith was just untouchable and Jesus was so selfless when he prayed! I mean right befor he was arrested he was praying not just for himself but he spent most of his prayer praying for his disciples and all believers!! That just blows my mind. feel like I can be so selfish sometimes in my prayers. I feel like I will focus to much on myself during myprayer and my wants and needs and problems and what not. Prayer is so powerful and i need to take advantage and cheerish this wonderful gift called pray that God gave to us.
It also blows my mind to think God want want to hear us!? I mean he is God..he dosn't have to listen, but he does. and not only does he listen but he cares with all his heart and he wants to hear and listen to us.
So this week I am going to try and improve my prayer life. I am going to try and stop concentrating so much on myself. There are so many important reasons for prayer such as repentence confession, praising GOd/ thnkafulness, edification, and praying for others and their well being. Don't get me wrong God does want to know whats going on in our lives, but I think we ( or me at least) can just lose focus of what pray is really supposed to be an how specail it is. I am not going to let selfishness consume my prayers anymore.
I really hope this blog made sense..i actualy i written one befor this that was probably better written but my computer messed up and I had to start over again. So hope it's not just rambling!
