When we talk about prayer, we’re talking about spiritual communication with God. We’re talking about emptying ourselves, we’re talking about bringing our fallenness, our shortcomings and our entire sinful nature before God. Many a time our prayers are not answered because we think we can lie to God about who we are, forgetting that God already knows who we are before we even think of deceiving him or lying to him.

A seventeenth century Roman Catholic man name Francois Fenelon wrote in one of his books: Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads ones heart, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell him your troubles, that he may comfort you; tell him your joys, that he may sober them; tell him your longings, that he may purify them; tell him your dislikes, that he may help you to conquer them; talk to him of your temptations, that he may shield them from you; show him the wounds of your heart, that he may heal them; lay bear your indifference to good, your depraved tests for evil, your instability. Tell him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and to others.

If you thus pour out all your weaknesses, needs, troubles, there will be no lack of what to say. You will never exhaust the subject. It is continually being renewed. People who have no secrets from each other, never want for subjects of conversation. They do not weigh their words, for there is nothing to be held back, neither do they seek for something to say. They talk out of the abundance of their hearts, without consideration, they say just what they think.

Finally, blessed are they that attain such familiar, unreserved intercourse with God. As you browse this website, I would like you to trust that our God will supply all your needs.  Keep pounding on heaven’s door and keep asking, keep seeking, while doing that, you are praying. Rowland Hill said, Prayer is the breath of the new born soul and there can be no Christian life without it.

Give me a call write me and I will be happy to speak with you personally!
