Marriage After God 3 of 8 - Empty Phrases and Many words: How To Prayer For Your Spouse
Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need acutely as our own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.
- John Calvin
When it comes to prayer, we often worry about the right words to say or wonder if we are praying “enough.” But Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6 that God values sincere, heartfelt prayer over eloquent, lengthy prayer.
In the busyness of life, it’s easy to mutter quick, repetitive prayers without much thought. But God sees the heart and wants us to come to him earnestly. The number of words we use doesn’t matter; what matters is the motivation behind those words.
The key is simply coming to God earnestly, trusting Him fully, whether your words are few or many. He knows what we need before we even ask. As our relationship with Him deepens, our prayers will become a lifeline, keeping us connected to the One who loves us most.
