I used to think prayer was my ticket to a perfect life. That if I prayed I would get something new, be able to have great experiences, or other earthly desires; God was my genie. Slowly my perspective started to change. Prayer is me being able to directly talk with my creator! I have access to the all-knowing God that looks at me with loving eyes as I desert him over and over again. Prayer has stopped being an obligation and turned into a joy. To be able to talk to God, who understands me better than I understand myself, and have him love me unconditionally even though he sees all my sin is unbelievable.
Psalm 116:2 “Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.”
