Jan 3 - Vignettes on Prayer
Today my daily scripture was 1 John 2:16, which tells us
that God is love. God’s love is
amazing. What I find so amazing is that
the God of the universe loves me. In
fact he loves all his creation. What is
also fantastic is that God wants to communicate with his creation. We call this communication prayer. Jesus when He was talking to the woman at the
well told her and us that God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship
Him in Spirit and in truth. Prayer is
Spirit to spirit communication. When we
pray in a manner we are in the Spirit.
Paul tells us Romans that the Holy Spirit helps us when we pray and
sometimes will pray through us with groans and prayers that cannot be expressed
except through deep groaning and deep intercession. There have been times where I have been
praying and I have not known what to say except through deep personal groaning
and tears. All this comes through the
love of God. What I find fascinating is
the God of the universe would want to spend time with me. So today let us let the love of God flow
through us as we pray. Let his love be
the foundation of our prayers today. As
we pray for others.
