Love is the most powerful force on earth. However, we the power of love often seems absent in life. Prayer is an expression of our love for God and for others. Effective prayer is not necessarily saying words. Effective prayer is expressing what is in your heart when you are sitting in the presence of Christ. What God wants most from you in your time of prayer is your presence with Him. When you pray, being with God is more important than using the right words. When we love God, truly love Him, we do not always have the right words because our words fail us. When you love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might, what comes from your heart is a big gushing or pouring out of love going up to heaven. When we have this big gushing or pouring out of love from our heart, there are no words, no thoughts, and no actions to express our thanksgiving. What we hold in our heart during our sending up time is beyond words. When we talk to God in this way, He responds to us in supernatural ways. When we pray to God in this way, what we send up comes back to fill us and overflow within us. This does not mean we should not use words when we pray. Our words, even when feeble, are a treasure to God. Our words to God, even when feeble, even when we struggle with what we want to say, mean we love Him enough to talk with Him.

If these words have been a blessing to you please forward them to a friend.
