And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. (Matthew 6:7-8 ESV)
Words
I like words, but words are not everything.
I use words, but words are not everything.
I need words, but words are not everything.
Many people try to talk to God. But their words only mean something if they KNOW God, which means knowing Jesus.
The thing about prayer is not to have eloquent language, but to have a real relationship. The thing about prayer is not to have just the right phrases or magic words, but to have someone who knows you,listening. The thing about prayer is to pray with trust, not list demands.
We are peculiar, we know the One listening to our words.
