Waiting on God

Hi everyone,

Tonight I want to encourage you to pray and to listen. In any healthy relationship we have to talk and to listen. Why do we think that it's different with God? Can we really fool ourselves into thinking that if we shoot up a quick prayer like "Bless Mom, bless Dad. etc. etc" and not get our hearts into it, that we can really grow in our faith? You may have a youth leader who keeps telling you to read your Bible or a Sunday School teacher who tells you to pray all the time. Do you think that they tell you that for no reason? The reason is so you can grow in your faith, become inspired or encouraged or even hear a Word from God. You may hear this all to often but, prayer changes people. Prayer changes things because we are talking to God. Isn't amazing that the God who created everything would want to hear our prayers? Now stop, really think about it. Awesome isn't?
