Thought for Today: Friday September 12

Someone once said that, before our prayers can mean anything to YHVH, they must first mean something to us. Mindlessly repeating a prayer, we memorised in childhood, or vaguely asking YHVH to bless everyone, everywhere – that is not authentic prayer. Prayer is speaking to YHVH about the deepest concerns of our hearts… YHVH delights in the prayers of His children --- prayers that express our love for Him, prayers that shares our deepest burdens with Him. Do not pray casually or thoughtlessly, but “come boldly to the Throne of Grace, that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16)
