when
we enter our closet
the
place of prayer
we
should praise God
honor
His name
our
words of petition
of
supplication
not
purely selfish
we
should pray for others
not
just ourselves
but
most important
be
honest, fully
share
what eats at you
what
weighs on your heart
God
wants us to ask
God
will answer
God
knows what we need
on
our walk, our path
God
will answer
in
God’s time only
God
will give us
the
desires of our heart.

“Sow righteousness for
yourselves,
reap the fruit of unfailing
love,
and break up your unplowed
ground;
for it is time to seek the
LORD,
until he comes and showers his
righteousness on you.”
Hosea 6:3
“Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge
him.
As surely as the sun rises, he
will appear;
he will come to us like the
winter rains,
like the spring rains that
water the earth."
