Prayer - Talking to God

What? Talking to God? Have you considered the implications of saying that you can just talk to God whenever you want to; that He listens when you speak? Who is God and why does He care what you have to say? This is perhaps the most profound concept of Christianity. Being able to talk to the Creator of the Universe says a ton about who we are. We've got to be pretty special. No other religion in the world places that kind of value on a human being. We are important to God. He is interested in all of the insignificant details of our lives. That's just crazy. Think on it.

This week, Pastor Jimmy had some great things to say about prayer. One thing in particular was his point that, while we are be able to talk to God from anywhere, at any time, that does not nullify or replace the value of getting alone with Him. We still need that time - that quiet time of prayer. Set time aside to hang out with God. Even Jesus set time aside to pray! If He needed that time, how can we live without it?
