| | Daily Manna from the Net for Thursday, May 24, 2012 [1 Samuel 2:1-8]
Then Hannah prayed and said: 'My heart rejoices in the LORD; in the LORD my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. 'There is no one holy like the LORD; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God. 'Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed. 'The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength. Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were hungry are hungry no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she who has had many sons pines away. 'The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up. The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them inherit a throne of honor. 'For the foundations of the earth are the LORD's; on them he has set the world. 1 Samuel 2:1-8 NIV

I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him. (Ephesians 1:17 NRSV)
Prayer is the spiritual dialogue that takes place between us and God. Our prayers are not just about listing our wants. Prayer is about building a relationship with God. How do we build stronger relationships with our spouses and friends? We do it through conversation and spending time together. We build our relationship with God through prayer.
When Sally in the PEANUTS cartoon strip was called on in Sunday School to lead her class in prayer, she adapted the only prayer she knew: "Now I lay me down to sleep...." I often have people tell me they don't know what to say in their prayer time with God. If you fall into that category, remember that prayer is a conversation. Have a conversation with God like you would with your spouse or a close friend. If you still have trouble, recite the Lord's prayer. There are also prayers and meditations in books you can purchase. A good devotion guide can also be very helpful in having a conversation with God. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing." To me, this scripture means that we are to live our life as a prayer.
When we live by prayer. We live in God's grace and presence.
Loving God, help me to spend quality time in getting to know you. In Jesus name, Amen.
