Teaching About Prayer

This morning I woke up, and felt an urge in my Spirit. I couldn't explain it, and couldn't understand it. But I went to the kitchen table, took my laptop out, and put some worship music on. I took out my Bible, and notebook, unsure of what to read, or write down. I have been thinking a lot lately about my relationship with God. How frusterating it can be for me. How much I want to be closer. And how to get there. This morning I realized why I have been stuck in the same rut my whole life. I don't know how to have devotions. Silly? Maybe. But true. I have been in Church my whole life. Raised in a good Christian home, even went to Interns. And yet, give me a Bible, and a notebook, or worship music, and I am stuck. I couldn't believe it. It makes me feel like a bad Christian! And yet I know that devotions, and time with the Lord is a key element to having a relationship. Just like any relationship in your life. It takes time. So, here I was time on my hands, worship music playing, and my Bible infront of me. Now what Lord? Well being the brilliant person I am, I thought, probably opening my Bible would be the smartest thing. So I opened it up, randomly, to any page. This is where I turned...

Luke 11 "Teaching about Prayer"
( Oh Lord, your so funny! Of course I would turn here is what I thought) The verse that stood out to me.

11:9-10 " And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will recieve what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking and the door with be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened."

I love how God works. I love that no matter what, he has our back. That there is encouragment when we need it. And support where we turn. We serve a great God!
