Good Thursday morning everyone! Another beautiful day out there to enjoy as the gift that is from God Almighty!!
Psalm 143:1, "Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness." The Psalmist knew something about prayer and the ONE to whom he was praying!
I have heard a lot of prayers in my life time and read many more. I love to hear people pray and specially over time, seeing and hearing how their prayers change as they grow.
Some, as they pray, make it a production. They are careful to include emotional input to impress others, thinking that the praise of others some how gains more merit with God in His answering of their prayers.
The most honest prayers are from hearts, not mouths. The ones that bare the heart, understanding that prayer is a conversation between them and God. If others hear it, fine, if not, fine. It is not about what others might think, how others might view the prayer, it is not about them, they are not part of the conversation. It is a moment between the one praying and the One to whom they are praying.
The Psalmist knew that and he shows great understanding concerning the One that he is praying to, as he asks the LORD ot give ear the LORD's faitfhulness and righteousness, not based upon the Psalmist faithfulness or supposed righteousness!
Have a great day. Continue to pray for one another. Be an encouragement to someone today. God bless.
