“God rewards faith. Yet faith is a gift from God. He rewards obedience. Yet obedience is made possible by His grace working in us. God rewards righteous acts. Yet it is His righteousness at work in us. Conclusion: God gives us credit for work He does through us.”

“If you don’t get that He loves you, if you don’t understand that He has an affectionate love for you, then on those days where you struggle, on those days when the Accuser or your own voice calls you worthless, calls you a screw up, calls you a failure, calls you unlovely, when you don’t understand that He loves you and that love is built upon Christ and not you, then I don’t know that you’ll ever really run towards Him.”

Real prayer is not a well thought out liturgy nor is it an eloquent flow of poetic dialog that stuns its hearers and inspires its listeners. The truth is that the prayer is not measured by the applause of men nor is it effectiveness determined by length of the rhetoric.

Instead prayer is the sincere cry of the human heart, the deep groanings of the spirit, and the prophetic utterances of foresightful souls, offered up to the throne of grace in a muster seed of faith. Prayer’s effectiveness is solely determined by the depth of the impact it had on the heart of the Father.

Long, eloquent prayers that do not touch the heart of the Jesus and thereby move the hand of God, are just hollow words offered up by unyielded souls, rewarded only by the accolades of men. These religious folks are so impressed by their own discipline of prayer that they have lost sight that they go unanswered.

Therefore keep it real…and for His ears only…then wait with great anticipation for God to answer.
