Prayer, it's more than a blessing over a meal or a short stanza you recite before bed. Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we have that allows us to connect deeply with God on a personal level. Unfortunately, over the years, religion and culture have attempted to redefine how to pray and even who we pray to. If you grew up in church, I'm sure you have your own definition of what prayer is to you, but what if you didn't? Prayer doesn't have to be complicated, and it shouldn't be your last resort when you happen to fall into hard times.

You may have felt intimidated by hearing others' perfect prayers in the past, but the first thing you need to understand is that prayer has nothing to do with how you articulate your words. In fact, it doesn't matter how your prayer sounds at all. I want to encourage you with this truth - God could care less about how good you sound. What matters to God is the posture of your heart.

So let's start out today, day one, by cutting out all the fluff. It's time to simplify your prayer life and posture your heart. Let your prayer today be genuine and heartfelt. You will be amazed at the peace you feel from spending this time with your heavenly Father. Start out by inviting His presence into your day today, and thank Him for what He has done.
