I doubt you write out your prayers before you pray them.

You have a need; you petition. You have a gratitude; you pray a prayer of thanksgiving.

It is as it should be.

But though being spontaneous in your daily talks with God is a good and gracious way to proceed it is still good to think through later the structure of what you have prayed; the how, the what, the when and the where.

When you prayed, first did you listen? Some people take the scripture that reads “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth” and rewrite it to read, “Listen Lord, thy servant speaketh.” (1 Samuel 3:10)

Could what you prayed for be considered a Christian prayer? Remember …if you end your prayer with the words “In Jesus name” you certainly want to have prayed a prayer he would approve.

Was it a prayer you really wanted to be answered, something you really wanted to take place, an improvement in your person you were really committed to following through on. A half hearted prayer is a wasted opportunity.

Promise what you will do to help make the prayer come true. You have prayed for help with your business? Have you promised to work longer and harder?

You have asked for better health? Are you committed to a better diet and more exercise?

Pray your prayer and then be patient.

You really don’t have to remind God about the prayer you just prayed two minutes ago. He heard you.

He will answer your prayer in his own way in his own time. In short, don’t make your prayer an anxiety center.

Below is a quote from a new series, entitled A HEAVENLY CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM(1st in series) It begins Sunday Dec 26, 2010

…“in the world of man” identities are stolen all the time.

It happened to us two summers ago. Someone reached into my wife’s purse and stole her identity. Went around proving they were her to a world that was more than willing to accept as fact what was obviously a lie.

We straightened it out, but for a short time “the things that man looks at” created an identity crisis.

But with God? No identity theft will ever take place. He knows who we are, the good and the bad and the in-between. And He loves us despite what He sees rather than because.
