The Two Surprises of Prayer

Scripture: Psalm 65


My study of prayer was met with two surprises.


1. God listens to me. “O You who hear prayer, To You all flesh will come” (Psalm 65:2; NKJV). The Creator hears my prayers. He listens. He cares. He responds.


2. I don’t pray more. I think about it. I worry about it. I talk about. Knowing He listens, cares, and responds when I pray, why don’t I pray more?


Note to self: “…pray without ceasing…” (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NKJV).
