Pray and your gonna get???

Recently I watched a short video on Troy Polamalu and his christian faith...He said something that struck me, the reason that it struck me so much is I have recently over time forgotten how much God wants to have that relationship with us...He wants to talk to us...He wants us to talk with Him. If I'm constantly pushing God to the back burner then, guess what Satan has an open door and we left it open.

Prayer is worship just as singing is worship and reading Gods word is worship...Where is your prayer life headed is it one of those things that you only do when you really need God...you wouldn't do that to your friends or your spouse or girl/boy friend. Really the ultimate goal of prayer is that you would spend time with Jesus...He must be your desire. If He is that He will speak to you in unimaginable ways. Know that Jesus wants to bless you but more than anything He wants to have that relationship with you. I'm not saying that you shouldn't ask God to take care of you, that you should do, because God wants to bless you...BUT more than anything Jesus wants you to have that relationship with Him, He doesn't want to be used like the Heavenly ATM Machine...I have to confess that I forget that from time to time and need to be reminded that I need to just talk with Him like he's my Friend, Father, and King

There is something to be said of enduring trials. There is also something to be said of falling flat on your face and getting right back up. Both happen, both will happen to you at one time or another, how you choose to respond is the key. Am I perfect will I fail sure but when I fail the after is really going to determine a lot.

Satan wants to get you to believe that your a failure and that when you fail your unworthy to approach the throne room, but did you know that your Heavenly Father desires that more than even when you fail...He wants you to come to Him to seek out His love, His comfort. When you fail I would seek after Jesus, He will comfort you, He will hold you, He will teach you how to defend against the temptation and how to either fight or run from that temptation. I can speak from experience that it's hard but if you ask Jesus will deliver you
Psalm 54:7 (NKJV)

⁷ For He has delivered me out of all trouble;
And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

I must implore you though Jesus wants all of you and if your willing to give it all you need to do is ask and It will be given to you remember your not alone in this and every single christian has this same problem. King David dealt with some of the same stuff that we as christian's deal with today and yet God called him a man after His own heart. My encouragement is that you would relate to King David read the Psalms and remember that when you fall your not to stay down you are to get back up dust yourself off remind yourself and Satan that your a child of the Most High and you are worthy
