 So many Christians think that prayer is a negotiation with God, wherein you try to get him to pay attention to you. So many think that when they approach prayer, they're approaching a reluctant God, who doesn't really want to give you his attention or his help, but will do so if you pray for long enough and with enough passion. No, when you approach the Heavenly Father, remember, He is welcoming you in. He is overjoyed when you pray. He's blessed by your presence. He loves you. And we have to remember this because otherwise we spend time begging God, please hear me, please see me, please connect with me. My friend, we don't pray to connect with God. We pray from connection with God. So come boldly. Don't doubt. Don't waver. Don't second guess. Pray with great faith.
