I think the real purpose of prayer is to make us more aware of the presence of God. To help us notice the wonderful attributes that make up who he is. And to simply rest there.
It's not like he needs us to make him aware of things that are needed! He knows them all before we do!! And he loves those dear to us more than we do!! And even those we don't!!! And he's shown us in the gift of his son, how much he is willing to do for us!!
No - I think the reason for prayer is a gift of connection. It is moments to appreciate who he is and what he does. And to understand that our requests will always be answered for the best good of all!! Because he is wiser and more knowing than any of us. And his ultimate aim is to get us to that perfect place with him.
So come, sit, be still and rest. And notice the God who sustains you. ❤️
