What new insights about the importance of prayer did you gather from this lesson?
-
I talk to God throughout the day as a friend but I think I forget the importance of sitting in silence with him and praying deeply. I also need to implement ACTS more into my prayer.
-
God truly desires to have a relationship with us, even me. Psalms116 is a great example of why to pray, and Matthew 6 is where Jesus teaches us how to pray. But in Numbers 6:24 Moses taught Aaron to have the people seek after God, and that our Lord would hear, and turn toward us as we pray.
-
I constantly pray (talk to God) minute by minute throughout the day and too often fail to slow down, stop, and have a deep conversation with my Father. I usually do all the talking, and although I’m in tune with the Holy Spirit and walk in obedience, I am missing out on the intimacy and deeper connection that purposeful, dedicated prayer provides. After reading the scripture once, and then twice, I prayed it and I have never experienced prayer and intimacy with God in that way before.
-
Sometimes I just think ‘it’s okay, God’s got it’, but I haven’t prayed about it. But God answers ‘because’ we pray. So while I’m trusting God to take care of it, I haven’t actually spoken to Him about it. And now that I’m typing that out, it sounds so obviously flawed. Must work on that in my prayer life!

God wants us to seek Him in prayer. Jesus modeled it and He rewards those who seek Him. He wants us to seek Him not only in distress and sorrow but all times.
