Prayer
There are so many ideas of what people think prayer is. You will find many of the interpretations from theologians and scholars over centuries defining what prayer truly is. Probably, most of them are right. However, I don't think God intended prayer to be complicated that we need scholars and theologian to tell us what prayer is supposed to be. We all know that God sent His only Son to save us. It is His unconditional love for all of humanity to either receive it or reject His love. It's a gift" and an "invitation for everyone." It's that simple. That is why I know in my heart that God intended prayer to be easily grasped by you and me. There's no science about it.
Since God is our Father and we are His beloved children - I believe that God first and foremost wants to have a personal relationship with each one of us. Like a "father to a son" and a "son to a father." If one feels so distant when they pray to our God our Father it is not because God is somewhere out there in the high heavens waiting for us to screw up and punish us. Nor God is not like calling from a cell phone that you need to know the right area code to reach Him. Not even close :) Neither our God is not like a ATM machine that the more good things you do you can actually deposit in the ATM get your prayers answered and talk to God LIVE and personal. Our God isn't like that. Why? Because God is our Father. And He loves us personally and individually. He is everywhere! God is with you. God is with me. By understanding what God is like and who He is made me realize how simple He made it possible for each one of us to pray. It has to be. It doesn't matter at this point if we haven't gone to Church in awhile. Or have sinned many times. It also doesn't matter if we don't know what and how to pray. Why? Because He is our Father. His Love is everlasting and His mercies are new every morning. So He understands even if we don't ourselves.
To me prayer in a nutshell is a personal conversation between a father and a son or daughter. WE can come to Him about anything. Our plans and aspirations, our successes and broken dreams. Our frustrations, our heartaches and our hopes. From the smallest details of our lives we can share those moments with Him. He longs for us to spend time with Him more than we can imagine. Just the way I am - just the you are, you and I can come to Our Father without being judged but loved and received joyously.
If you don't know how or where to start just you say whatever is in your heart. That is a great place to start. You can't go wrong with that. We all have the same access to God. We have the same area code. It's your "heart." Open the door of your heart and He will come into your life and fellowship with you. Don't feel undeserving or unworthy. No one is. But only through His grace we all are.

An Anniversary Prayer
Here is an Anniversary Prayer I wrote this morning for couples that I want to share with you all. So on the day of your Anniversary you can go back and say this prayer with your special someone.
For Husband/Wife
Dear Lord, thank you for blessing me with the "love of my life as we celebrate our anniversary today. Remind us of the "vows" we took. May it rekindle "the fire of our love" for each other as we cherish the precious moments of our first kiss... our first dance... when we first fell in love... and other wonderful memories... We pray that you will bless us with more of them.
As we look into each others eyes on our Anniversary - we recommit our "vows" to one another "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."
We know there will be times we will say or do things that will hurt each other - and in those moments give us the grace to forgive and forget easily knowing that we have faults of our own.
When we have arguments and misunderstandings, remind us not to make matters worse by rehashing the past of what was said or done that caused us both pain but in humility and grace to work things out quickly lovingly before we say our good nights.
We praise you and thank you with all our hearts for this wonderful gift of "Love." Make our love "pure." Teach us the way to love each other and not to take advantage of the other person's patience and goodness but to love them even more. AMEN!
