(Daily prayer follows after this short introduction)

What kind of prayers does God listen to?

Prayers for strength...requests for good health... for healing... for a happy marriage... help for a loved one... help for your finances... for a better life...a stable life...a peaceful life... to save your relationship...find someone special for you...to deal with any personal problem... help you with your fears... your anxieties...your loneliness...help you control your emotions (such as anger, hate, jealousy, envy, apathy, depression...etc.)...your disappointments...addictions (whether it's drugs, alcoholism, obsessive spending...etc.)...??

What if I were to tell you that He listens to none of that, would it shock you or even surprise you?

I hope not.

First, God listens to your heartfelt desire to communicate with Him because you love Him as your Father; words without faithful love for Him mean nothing...so speaking to God because you want something for yourself means nothing...

Secondly, when you love God, you don't "pray" to Him, like some kind of formality...communicate with Him as someone you genuinely love...

This is what Daily Communication Prayer to God is all about; to teach you how to communicate with the Lord the way he wants to hear from you...

Father,

This morning I have two choices as my mind awakes to a new day:

Either I start the day with expectant anointing of blessings...

Or I allow the forces of evil to overtake me and fall into the trap of a defeated mindset...

(See the sophisticated secret plans that Satan unleashes against you...)

In my daily communication prayer this morning, I choose to be anointed Lord...

I select voluntarily to be at your side Father, in-contact with you with heartfelt love and gratitude knowing that we are together...

With Jesus as my coach and my bread of life (John 6:35), I know Lord that I shall not go hungry today...

I will not desire anything because I will be given the blessings to keep me satisfied...whatever that blessing is...

This way I can celebrate my own existence with you Father, joyful like a kid in a candy store...

My life will be a celebration today...anointed.

My loved ones will feel the goodness in their lives...

My tasks at work will be fun...

My interactions with others will be pleasant...

My challenges and problems (when they might arise) will be effortless...

My life today will be quenched, not thirsty...

Increase is expected in all good things in my life...starting now.

Just one thing Lord that is left unsatisfied: my thirst for you remains unquenched...

When I think of it, there is a never-ending thirst in staying tuned-in to you Lord...

Therefore I strive to keep my contact with you alive...I am sending out the signal of contact Lord...

I keep myself tuned-in to you...my heart and mind reach out to you...

I see myself having entered the gates of your house...I sit at the steps of your porch...

I feel secure there, belonging in your presence...

Nothing can come against me Lord when I sit in your presence...

All things fall into their logical place as I am drenched in your anointing...

I am ready for the day Father...

(GM Evagrius)
