Write A Letter To God

Write A Letter to God
A devotional by Jeff Beman
Psalm 45:1 "My heart is over flowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer."

Sometimes, when I try to pray, my mind goes blank, and my tongue twists us, and my prayer becomes a mess jumble of noise. The bible tell us the Holy Spirit will intercede for us when that happens. (See Romans 8:26) Praise God for that! But I am learning to write out my prayers, which lets my mouth and my brain get together, because it can only help me when I understand, myself, what I am telling and asking of the Lord.
If writing out your prayers seems strange, (and it did to me at first), remember that all of the prayers we read in the Bible were written down, which is why we can still use them as our own, today. Many of our hymns and worship songs are actually prayers that were written down, ... "The sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee."
If we take time to write out some of our prayers, we might discover areas of weakness that need to be strengthened and patterns of life that need to be corrected. We will have a record of how we prayed and we can see how God is working in our lives.
When our minds feel unfocus, a pen and paper can help us concentrate in God's presence. Try writing out some of your prayers and thin of them as letters to God. He knows how to read; and listen!

A prayer: Wonderous and Merciful God - We praise you for the permission and practice of being able to communicate directly with you! Accept our prayers as an offering to you, and may they truly be a sweet sound in your ears. Always in the name of Jesus we pray ... AMEN
