The art of prayer

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Prayer is not suppose to be hard and difficult... the yoke is easy the burden is light.... prayer may not even need to be loud in most times...

Matthew 6:5-10
And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathens do. For they think they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. In this manner, therefore pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Prayer is easy... there is a yoke of prayer that is easy.... in many cases prayer can be your thoughts turning to God... communing to Him in silence...ie "Father, help me...help me...in this situation..." turning your thoughts to Him and giving your cares are all considered prayer to God....

1 Peter 5:7
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

We don't have to talk differently to God... its like a friendly moment with a friend... Bible says... God knows all things... so whatever we commune with Him.. He already knows... but He wants us to pray for His Will to be done in every situation... cast our cares then pray for His Will be done and maintain a submissive attitude to His leading.... Bible talks about the secret chamber... the secret place... this is where we make love to our spouse... God wants us to go to His secret chamber and make love to God... its a love relationship... that is the art of prayer... Prayer is fun and it is not hard to pray... its talk to a friend who watches over you and knows the number of hair you have on your head... its communication in our hearts and mind toward a God who loves us...
