Prayer is communication between a Father and His children. In one sense, that is all there is to it. When prayer seems difficult, and we feel unworthy of asking the Almighty Creator God to answer our seemingly mundane requests, we would do well to remember that Fathers want to talk with their children; and most parents will tell you that the communication is much more important than the topic.
With God, however, prayer is not limited by words, but it is a touching of our spirit, with the Holy Spirit of God, that leads us into a relationship with the Father. This means that we don't need to put into words, but can simply open our heartfelt thoughts and emotions to our Father God. But how can this be, you might ask? Why would God allow himself to be pestered by millions of prayer requests from us?
The answer is that prayer is a gift. God has given each and every one of us the opportunity to address him directly. Moreover, not only is prayer a gift in itself, but God answers prayers with further gifts.
We have arranged the prayer diary so that the events of the day are prayed for on that day. If you pray early in the day, this will suit you. If you pray in the evening, you will find that you are praying for events which have passed.
There are two ways to get round this – either you can ask God’s blessing on all that has gone on that day, or you can pray in the evening for the day to come; that is, on Monday evening you will be praying for the items listed for Tuesday.
