Psalm 86: A Cry from the Heart for God’s Listening Ear
I believe the enemy works hard to keep us from understanding what it means to have an effective prayer life—because once we grasp it, everything about the way we live and interact with others begins to change.
Prayer is more than simply opening your mouth and speaking—though that's a great place to start.
As Charles Spurgeon once said, “True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance. It is far deeper than that—it is a spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.”
Jonathan Edwards put it this way: “Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.”
May this message encourage and challenge you to cry out to God for mercy, grace, and forgiveness.
