STAYING HUNGRY(GROWING IN PRAYER)

And he shall seek me and find me, when he shall search with all your heart. JER .29VS13

Have you ever felt frustrated in the place of prayer? A time when it seems every attempt you make is an effort in Futility. You try to sing, No Way. You try to utter a word , No Way. It seems like the Heaven is literarily shut against you, in fact, you can see the Gates of Heaven shut through your roof.

Praying sometimes can seem frustrating to us, especially at those times when it seems like God is some thousand miles away. One of the major reasons we feel this way sometimes, is because we approach God with a Religious Attitude. We Pray like its a Burden, a Responsibility. Probably it's because we want to be able to give a Positive answer when asked,  'have you had your your Quiet Time?'

But really, how Quiet is our Quiet Time? Many of us have Quiet Time with our flesh loudly glorified. We just devote that time to either please men or ourselves.

Jesus speaking to the Samaritan woman by the well, said God is a spirit and He seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. Our TIME of Prayer IS MEANT to be a TIME WHEN WE COMMUNICATE WITH GOD and not COMMUNICATE TO GOD.
It is a time when we come to Him in the undstanding of who He is and behold Him in awe. Our flesh sacrificed and silenced we pour our all, we open our cistern, our heart hungry for Him , to see His face.

The Truth of God must be able to take the seat in your heart when you seek Him in Prayer. Without this truth, your prayer time, no matter how lengthy and loud you sound will only be a Religious Exercise.

CENTRAL POINT: Prayer is Communication with God and not Communicating to God.

PRAYER:

Father help me to stay in the Place of Prayer long enough to get a response from you.

THINK ON THIS:

Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. (Micah 7:7)
