🙏🏼'PRAY YOURSELF SILLY!'🙏🏼

🦋 Have you ever prayed yourself "silly?"🙏🏼 😌😜 What I mean, is that, sometimes, I find myself going from, praying TO God, into, explaining to GOD the specifics of, any given prayer situation and/or request, forgetting that, because HE IS GOD, after all, HE does NOT need anything explained to HIM! 😗 I think that, maybe, I do it more for my sake, than, for HIS?! 😏 What I really need to do whenever I pray, is to talk, honestly and openly, to God, in Jesus' name, ask HIM for the things in which I desire, let HIM know that I trust HIM, and expect an answer (whatever HE knows is the absolute best one) (Matthew 7:7-12, 1 John 5:14+15), and then, LISTEN and watch, for that answer.  📖🙏🏼🕊✝️🙌🏼💜 Finally, upon realizing that, GOD has given HIS (perfect) answer, I need to thank HIM for it, and, trust that, HE absolutely knows what HE is doing!! 😉  Anymore, after I've prayed various things (praises, worship, Scripture, intercessions, petitions, etc), concerning the prayers of which I've asked HIM for specific answers (based on my LIMITED, perception and perspective, etc.), I find tremendous, comfort and confidence, etc., by, then, asking God to answer EACH prayer by making "HIS absolute, perfect will" happen, because, HE, sees and knows, SO MUCH more than I!! 😔🙏🏼✝️📖💜🙌🏼 (Matthew 6:7) I take, prayer and praying, very seriously, therefore, I have to be very careful, as to not get too repetitive with my prayers!  Sometimes, I do all the talking, and, forget to listen to my Lord! 😕 I must remind myself oftentimes that, prayer is a two-way street, and, it is communication between two "beings!" Whenever, I do all of the talking/praying, along with the "explaining situations to GOD"(mentioned above)... 😜...are the times of which, I already mentioned, whenever, I pray myself "SILLY!" 🤣 I'm trying to discipline myself to, ask, believe, and wait for God's answer, instead of asking - over and over - again and again - into "repetitive silliness!" 😳 The times in which I get into this silliness, my mind is racing, as I am trying to convince myself that, I am "covering all the bases!"  However, GOD does not need me to "cover all the bases!"  HE has them covered - PERFECTLY! 🙃 (Proverbs 3:5+6)...is what I should do in all areas of life..."TRUST in the Lord with ALL thine heart...lean not...own understanding...!" Please, try to read the entirety of these two Scriptures! 😘 These two verses are awesome ones to memorize, also, as, they are applicable to most matters with which we face in life! 📖🙏🏼🤔 I'm not saying that, it is wrong to ask God for something more than once, because, there are times when HE responds to a person's persistence in praying about a certain request.  But, whenever, my prayer becomes like a repetitive chant, I know that it's time to surrender to the prayer of, "THY absolute, perfect WILL be done, dear Lord!" 😳 There are also many instances, whenever, I have no idea HOW to pray about something, and, I pray this, which is accompanied by a peacefulness, that, only HIS sweet Holy Spirit can give a Believer! 🕊💙 This is not a "cop-out prayer," but rather, a "God, You, know what I want, but, if, I'm wrong, then, DO what, YOU, in your omniscience, providence, sovereignty, etc., know to be BEST, in order for You to receive the most, honor and glory, prayer!" 📖🙏🏼✝️🙌🏼 Of this, I am completely confident...whenever, I pray for HIS absolutely perfect will to be done, in Jesus' name, my Heavenly Father hears me, and, I may rest -assured, knowing that, HE shall give the RIGHT answer, in the perfect, time and way! 😃🙌🏼 I don't understand this, but, God is capable of "changing HIS mind" (so to speak), in response to people's prayers! (example - Hezekiah) 🙏🏼🙌🏼 GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES! 🙌🏼📖✝️🙏🏼😃 We are told in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, to..."PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!" Therefore, I presume that, we should be communicating with our Lord on a continuing basis! 🙏🏼💞🙏🏼 Then, vs.18 says..."in EVERYTHING give thanks...!" Please, go to your Bible, and, read these in their entirety, also. 😘💗 I'm glad to know that God sees the motives of our hearts, even whenever our words are not spoken exactly the way they ought to be! ❤️👀🙌🏼  PRAYER keeps things happening, from the time in which we pray them in the physical realm, and, they enter the spiritual realm, and then, the answers come back from God, into the physical realm, for HIS glory, and, our good!! 😃🙌🏼 LET'S JUST PRAY! 🙏🏼 Be, open and honest, with God!  HE already knows EVERYTHING anyway!!  And, whenever, I don't know what exactly to pray, I'm going to keep praying that, GOD's absolutely perfect will be done, in Jesus name! 🙏🏼✝️💜 "Sometimes, all it takes is just one prayer to change everything!" -  clengheartsyou/tumbir (Pinterest) ...👋🏼...until next post...
