So what is the purpose of prayer? What should be your goal in prayer? I believe that prayer should be a time to really open up to God. This is the time when we come before the throne of mercy and grace (Heb. 4:16) and we are able to pour all about upon that throne, knowing that we shall receive an answer from the Almighty.
1 John 3:21 “Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God”
If our hearts do not condemn us (because God is not condemning us, see article No Condemnation in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:1)) we have boldness before God because He has made a way for us to come to Him through His glorious Son Jesus Christ whom He has given unto us. Praise His name! So when we come to God, we need not fear, but rather pour our hearts out and let God know of all of our needs and wishes, anything that may be troubling or anything we need to say or “get off our chests”. Remember, don’t bear the burden because Jesus has already bore it for you! Come to God and let Him take care of it, knowing that He is greater than all and already knows all in our hearts (1 John 3:20) and loves us regardless.
So cast all your worries and anxieties upon Him, knowing that He cares for you and that He is there to help and to strengthen you. Rather than worry, (which is negative energy), redirect it toward God and you will find the peace of the Holy Spirit coming into your heart and mind. In things you used to worry about, you will no longer fret but have great peace, for this is a great peace that comes from above. In all things, let Him take care of it, because that is what He is here for. He loves us and cares for us and seeks to help us and to hear from us. So pour your heart out to God and let Him know all, and you will find a perfect peace that passes all understanding. Let Him take care of you! Bless!
1 Pet. 5:7 “Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you”
