i would like to dedicate a thread to prayer and discussing prayer. The main discussions i have seen is answered prayer but I want to start out with something I have noticed in prayer. for instance long ago I asked a simple prayer that my hearts desires would match his and that My eyes would see through his. this was asked in the beginning of my faith and i only felt the need to ask once,this has always been on my heart but i didnt ask again. but gradually I began to notice this prayer being answered day by day i noticed how i lost all desire for myself and obtained desires from a heart that was not my own.
I think certain prayers are special, as if we hit the bulls eye in Gods will for us and he never forgets them. now i will be honest when i am asking for something that is not in my usual flow of prayers i seem to have no power in them as if they are hollow but when i pray according to the usual flow of my heart it feels right as if it connects with Gods heart. I can usually tell if i am asking in Gods will by the feel of the flow in my prayers and even then i still ask for things i know i cant have right now.
Does anyone know what im talking about? when i speak of the flow in prayer does that make sense? I think prayer is an art, something needing much practice to use correctly
