If you could say anything about maturing in prayer what would you say? This is the question I pondered as I tried to decide what to write. Then I felt like God was telling me to just listen, to forget about what I thought I should write and just listen. Taking time to listen is one of the greatest acts of surrender we can make in our prayers. You have to give the time over to God and trust he knows what you need and what you are looking for. It’s the same as with someone you really know. Can’t so much be said with just a look? You are trusting the other person to get what you mean and to respond. How many of us can say that our prayer life is personal enough that communication can come down to something comparative to a look. In chapel Pastor Vaughan said “that to be used by God we have to surrender.” For God to use our prayer life we have to surrender it to him.
