PRAYER FOR TODAY - August 10, 2013 (Understanding That Prayer Is Essential ... Asking God To Help Us To Stand Still and To Know That He Is Our Father, Our Creator, and Our King)

PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL ... When something is essential, it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.   So understand today ... prayer is absolutely necessary.    One definition for the word necessary is "required to be done".    The question is ... are you doing what is required.   Are you communing with God.   Not just telling Him what you want and leaving His presence.   But going to Him.   Talking to Him and waiting on Him to tell you what to do.    We have to get to a point of not only seeking Him ... but we have to also wait on Him to tell us what He wants us to do.  

Father help us to wait on you.   Father we get so busy and we want to do things so quick that sometimes we forget to stand still and wait.   Today we ask for your help in the waiting.    Help us to trust you more.   To know you more.   To live for you more.   Father help us to just stand still and to know that you are our Father, our Creator, and our King.   Help us now Father ... in Jesus name we do pray.  Amen.
