Yesterday I talked about how the Lord hears our prayers, today is kinda a continuation of the topic of prayer. What stood out to me today was how many times David asked for something for himself. In 12 verses he used the word my 8times, me twice, and I twice. I think it's awesome how in the chapter 4 David acknowledged how God hears our prayers and in this chapter he is literally believing on that and acting upon that. What I love the most about the way David is praying is how real and personal he is with God. Some people look at this as being selfish because he's only thinking about himself. I get why people might say that but I don't agree with that thought. A lot of people like to pray in the "generic" form like; "If it's your will God", "Whatever you have for me", or even "You know what I need God so I don't need to explain everything to you". Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying we shouldn't have a mind set or our hearts shouldn't be centered around that thinking, but I feel that we spend too much time being "generic" and not real with God. Yes God knows what we are going through and it is His will to be done but remember this; YOU ARE HIS CHILD AND HE LOVES TO HEAR IT FROM YOU. I truly believe with all my heart that God loves it when you are real with Him. No matter what it is. It could be your struggles, your fears, your anger, your needs, it doesn't matter how big or small you might think it is, Our God is bigger than all of that junk and OUR GOD IS ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THAT!!!
So if you've never taken the time to just talk/vent to God, do so at some point today. Be real with Him, just like you would be with your closes friend. Remember we are His children and He loves us so talking to Him isn't a pain, it's a pleasure for Him.
