After all these years, prayer is still a struggle for me.
So today, instead of praying with the right words, the Lord said to me, “Just unload your burdens on me. Tell me your concerns.” I began by telling him my concern for the children and the young adults at church. I told him of my love and worries about my children and family. Then there are all the things I need to do and feel so inadequate in doing.
I realize that God does not need us to present to him our list of requests, but rather confess to him our need for him to take care of each of those items. He wants us admit our needyness. Then he is able to give us his power.
I learned that from my own Sunday School lesson from last week. I think I am my own best student.
