Talking Back Part 1

Take a look: Ps 43 , Mt 21:22

Prayer is important. It's key to our daily devotional time. GOD talks to us through His Word, and we need to "talk back" - to keep the conversation going. Communication is basic to any relationship, including your relationship with GOD.

The author ps 43 writes about being oppressed by his enemis. Right after that, he mentions a strong desire to go to GOD and worship him. He wants an encounter with GOD's tru personality. Have you ever felt like that? Maybe when you're down or disappointed or you're strunggling with a problem and can't even thing staright, yiu'd like to go to someone who is all truth and light - not to ask for anything but simple to enjoy the rest and comfort of being with him.We can go to GOD at any time and any where when ever we need him.


We can do that through prayer. But we have to start by thinking of prayer not as sending GOD a wish list but rather as coming into his majestic presence. No kidding. No just in our imaginations but is actual fact. And then taking the opportunity to praise him, as the writer of Psalm 43 does.

This kind of private worship is true reason GOD created us in the first place/ And it will give us greater confidence when we do make specific requests of him.
