Prayer is conscious and deliberate..the forces that be will not permit otherwise. I am working on making my prayer life consistent and private: I seem to have too much to do ALL the time, a situation that I do not believe is accidental. The enemy must keep one away from Gods throne room: it is the only place he has no power over the proceedings, and therefore whose outcome he cannot control.
I have never had a problem with praying genuinely. After years of watching 'performance prayers' both on and off the pulpit, I am painfully aware of my inadequacy before God, and my complete ineffectiveness if i try to impress Him. Why should I try to be like someone else?? They are already taken!!!
Besides I find it much more fun to be myself with God. I really have nothing to hide before Him; there is nothing I CAN hide from His all seeing glare. When I come to Him just as I am, I believe I can clearly see Him just as He is.
I will appropriate the ACTS system of prayer (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication). I will also blog my prayers as well so as to remind myself of all that God has done.
