Precious morning Gems!!!
I want to talk about another aspect of why we pray. We've looked at the command, how we participate in His work and also at the communication. These are just a few of the reasons on why we pray.
We pray to know God intimately. When you communicate with someone on a constant basis you begin to learn more about them and get comfortable with them in your life. We pray to know who God is in our lives various aspects.
God is Father, Friend, Provider, Protector, Shelter, Lover, Comforter and so many other facets. When we pray we bring glory to Him and open up a way for Him to reveal Himself so that we may know Him.
If you don't know God in a specific way pray to Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. He wants us to know Him. He wants us to see Him in many ways. We can only know the source by seeking Him in prayer, speaking with Him in prayer and spending quality time with Him in prayer.
So my question is, do you know your God?
Journaling Prompt
Please be as true to yourself as possible when answering the prompt to get the most out of this challenge.
Today's scripture comes from Exodus 33:13:
Spend 2-5 minutes journaling your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Use the journaling prompt.
Verbal Prayer
Take 2 minutes and verbally speak your written prayer. Pray out loud so that He can hear your voice. If your prayer is short, try to add to it. Pray for a better understanding of God. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you in a new way today.
Listen
Sit quietly in a position that will not make you tired and wait on God. You may feel His presence, you may hear from Him. If you do, write down what He says or what you're feeling. Give yourself at least two minutes of pure silence to be able to hear from and feel God. This is a conversation, not a rant. Allow Him the opportunity to speak to you after you've spoken to Him.
Let's end in prayer...

Heavenly Father, we humbly bow before You with a heart posture of immense gratitude. We thank You for being God in our lives. We thank you for being the One True Source. We bring glory to Your name today. We seek to know You like never before. We desire to have a deep relationship with You and not a surface one. Abba, we open the way for You to speak and reveal more of You throughout our day. We cry out like Paul in Philippians 3:10, that we might know You, our Lord and Savior and the power of His resurrection. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
