What Does Prayer Mean To You....

[Aviela]

It's so good to see everyone here. I hope everyone is having a great day!

Today prayer is still waiting but it's also rejoicing in the peace and assurance I can have in God despite not knowing certain things. It's also rejoicing in seeing God work in various ways, including this thread.

Here's a quote I once found which I quite liked

"The world says, "Be active; be busy; be industrious." But God says, "Be STILL; be quiet; don't rush." This is not just a cessation of activities, but a quietness of heart and spirit in which we are aware of His presence. In the center of our soul is a place where God dwells, and where, if we enter and close out every other sound, He will speak to us."
--Millie Stamm

sometimes we just need to be still, and its pretty amazing feeling His presence so close during that time.
Makes me think of a verse actually: "Be still, and know that I am God." -Psalm 46:10

I love it. Heard in a sermon a while ago.

It's becoming more difficult in this busy world just to spend time quietly with God. So when we do, it is a blessing

Hello. I am brand new to this site so I don't really know what I am doing, but your post caught my attention and I thought I'd toss my little story out your way. In February of 2014 I gave my whole life, lock stock and barrel to Jesus Christ. I surrendered everything in my lifge. My love for sports, motorcycles, fishing, even my tv. I gave up EVERYTHING in my life and followed Christ. The result? Unquenchable thirst to worship and know my savior. I think that very few out there truly know what it means to pay your life down for Christ or know the power and true fruit of the spirit that flows from within. ONLY a fully surrendered life can experience this.

I personally LOVE to pray. Not asking God to do stuff, but just to worship and simply "be" with God. I personally love to pray outside in nature. There is a small mountain I climb up almost every single day (been up there about 100 times now) to pray. I also listen to a worship music up there on my ipod and sing my heart out to God, usually in a flood of tears of Joy from being in his presence. One day I felt like I don't spend enough time up there praying for stuff. I spend so much time worshipping and expressing love to my savior that I actually forget to ask God to do stuff. Finally I told God that I'm going to have to make a prayer list to take up my mountain with me so that I won't forget. I would like to share how it is that God spoke to me the very next day through a song and through a book someone loaned me to read, but in these two things God revealed to me that my time up on the mountain with him is my special time just to "be" with him. To dwell in him and to worship him. He doesn't want my prayer list up there. He just wants me. I have so many experiences up there that I call "snow globe" experiences, where His presence and His love is so thick, and I am broken and weeping tears of sheer joy before Him in His presence. I simply can't get enough of Him, or being in His presence up on my mountain. In this I simply do not miss any of the worldly pleasures I gave up to follow Him. He is my Constant, my companion and the JOY of my life. And I will worship him with all of my heart.
This is what my prayer time means to me.

Love in Christ,
Paul
