I am reading a little book on prayer right now. There are so many books out there on the subject. I enjoy praying...talking to You about my life...the way I'm feeling...troubles in the world, etc. So, why don't I do it more? Life takes over my prayer life instead of my prayer life taking over my life. Is this right? No! I am sorry that often I let life control me. Thank You Lord that I am able to start fresh whenever I mess up.
There are a lot of different ways to pray...and I don't just use one way. I write my prayers out to You...sometimes I only pray for one specific thing...sometimes I cry when I pray...sometimes I don't...sometimes I just praise Your name...Are any of these "THE" right way to pray? No. I believe that we should use various methods to pray. Sometimes I know which "method" to use because the Holy Spirit prompts me to pray for someone or something specific. Other times something may be bothering me and I need to humbly come before You or cry out before You.
To say there is only one correct way to pray is to stifle the creativity of each individual and the prompting of the Holy Spirit of God.
I do enjoy praying...but I don't pray the same way every time. My favorite place to pray is outside. There is something about praying while I am on a walk outside that causes me to feel closer to You.
