Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory forever, Amen.
Prayer.
The concept is pretty cool. Wherever I am, whatever I'm doing, whoever I'm with, whatever I want to say, God can hear me and my desires. Now, I never have been a faithful prayer warrior, and thats something that I feel God calling me to work on. I feel like sometimes, the times when I'm most desperate, simple prayers calm me.
But my delimma is, I don't know exactly how to pray.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't think there is a "wrong" and "right" way to pray by any means, I just haven't figured out for myself how to best prayerfully communicate with my God.
When I'm talking with Him inaudibly, my mind wanders to things that don't matter. When I speak my prayers out loud, I mumble and bumble my words around because I'm nervous. I don't normally volunteer to pray out loud when asked. When I try to write my prayers down, I over analyze things and sound phony.
I just. Can't. Seem. To get. It. Right.
But regardless of how I pray, I know that My God hears, My God cares, My God understands, My God moves, but most of all...
My. Father. Loves. Me.
And thats enough.
