What are prayers to our Creator? I'm just thinking this today. Because I have been told that prayer doesn't amount to much if you don't really mean them. I think this is a misunderstanding of why we pray. I had been reading Revelation 5 today at work because there is no and I mean no work. Ha ha!! Anyway, John says that there are bowls full of incense which are in heaven. Somehow these are the prayes we pray! Amazing!
Back in Genesis, we see that prayer affects peoples lives very practically. In Genesis 30, we get a glimpse into a woman's heart that aches to have children. She cries out, "give me children or I die!" His ear is not far from the innermost groanings of our hearts. God understands that we don't know what we ask for. We might not ask for what is on His heart but thank and praise Him He hears our cry!
