Bible Question:
I pray about the samething every night. I got tired and bored with my own praying content. Does GOD get bored with my prayer? |
Bible Answer: If your prayer is sincere and from the heart, God certainly does not get bored with hearing from you. You might include in your prayers to Him, however that you are finding it difficult to concentrate, and feel that your conversations with him might sound boreing and repetitious and would like His help in that regard. The bible tells us about those who "pray, simply to hear themselves and have others hear them," rather than quietly and in reverence speak to God from their hearts and not their lungs. Surely, with everything that is going on in your life (good or bad), conditions in your home, community, State or Nation do remain a viable option to the same prayer over and over again. Sometimes, a simple "good night Lord, thanks for being with me today" does wonders to get you kick started on being more open with Him. They (prayers) do not have to be essays, books or lengthy babble....just some common down to earth words you use every day (making sure of course that you kinda "edit" them for experlatives deleted censorship;-) Before you know it, you will be chatting with Him on a variety of subjects, some from which you might gain immediate answers from Him, some will take awhile, and others my not come in your lifetime...but rest assured, He hears them all and works His will on each and every one.
