Topic: Communion In Prayer, Part 2 Of 2 Our prayer time is a time of communion with God. Our prayer time is a time we make our needs known. Prayer time is a time of spiritual contemplation. Prayer time is a time to inform God of what we want. Time of prayer is a time of sharing our innermost thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams with God. When we pray, we announce to God our desires. When we pray, we attempt as much as possible to bring a harmony between our will and His will. When we pray, we try to make our will go in the same direction as His will. Prayer time is a time when we apprise God of what is going on in our life. The hour of prayer is a time of moving our spirit with His spirit. Our special prayer time of communion with God is a time to tell God our secrets. Our prayer time is a time of bringing His mind and our mind into one accord. During prayer, we seek to only have one mind with God, one heart with God, and one soul with God. Oneness with Christ is always the objective in prayer but oneness is sometimes difficult to achieve. Yet, even in the difficulty of achieving true oneness, God wants us to tell Him of the difficulty and not pretend the difficulty does not exist. As we approach prayer time and our oneness in our communion with Christ, we come to be in agreement with Him about what is important and what is valuable in our life. In prayer, we convey our heartaches to Him and we convey our love for Him. Prayer time is also a time for us to open our heart to Him so we may receive His love for us. Prayer time is a time when we and God can truly be together. In prayer, we are free and open and can disclose our plans to God. Prayer is a time when God can express His sympathy toward us and we can understand Him. In prayer, we can learn to care for others. In prayer, we can divulge our sins. In divulging our sins, we can express our sorrow and receive His forgiveness. In our communion time with God, there can be free flowing ideas, free flowing feelings, and free flowing thoughts. Our special time with God each day is a time we can reveal our innermost thoughts to Him. In our communion in prayer time, we can contemplate the deepest questions and meditate on His greatest wonders. If these words have been a blessing, please forward them to a friend.
