Prayer is a reminder that God knows us. It is a reminder that the desire for the will of God is preeminent over our desires and even the desires and needs of others. Powerful, effective prayer begins with "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Prayers that deepen our love for Him are focused on the needs of our neighbors even over our own needs. Prayers that deepen our joy are prayers of thanksgiving to the God who is love and always acts in love for those we int...ercede for and for ourselves. Prayer: we are known by God. Prayer: to deepen our love for God. Prayer: to deepen our love for those around me, for the people living in a fallen world, for His creation. Prayer: to deepen my joy because the God who knows me and loves me is the God who will answer my prayers according to His perfect will--and for my eternal, everflasting good.
To pray without ceasing is to spend my day in His presence before the throne of grace and mercy confident that all will be well.
