To Pray.

I haven't prayed like that in a long time. Face down. Tears streaming. Full force of conviction behind my words.

I pleaded for forgiveness on so many accounts. (Pride. Bitterness. Selfishness. Laziness.) 

I thanked Him for the constant outpouring of His blessing. (Amazing husband. Beautiful son. Wonderful church.)

I broke down as He uncovered so many layers of hurt buried in my heart. (Disappointment. Sorrow. Frustration.)

I praised Him for who He is. (Constant. Great. Protector. Provider.) 

Perhaps I've always lacked faith in my prayer.

Perhaps I've always trusted in myself for everything.

But tonight I was reminded of the overwhelming peace prayer brings.

This is what it means to pray.

This is what it means to commune with our Maker.

This is how a relationship with Him was intended to be.
