Thirteen Things Lazy Daisy has learned about PrayerI learned to pray from Christian parents at an early age. Throughout the years I've gotten quite good at it because I've had lots of practice. Prayer doesn't necessarily change my situation but it does change me. The following are 13 things I've learned about prayer.
- Say little, pray much.
- Pray for people you dislike.
- Pray for people who dislike you.
- Prayer involves listening to God as well as speaking to Him.
- Pray with perseverance and expectancy. (If you pray for rain, take your umbrella!)
- There is no such thing as a successful or unsuccessful prayer.
- "No" is also an answer.
- Become quiet before God in the busiest and noisiest part of your day.
- If your prayers don't mean anything to you, they will mean even less to God.
- Don't pray for a lighter load. Pray for a stronger back.
- Pray as if the task depends solely on God and work as if it depends on you.
- Live humbly and pray likewise.
- People of God may not talk about their prayer habits, but their lives speak volumes.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
