Many motives can drive our prayer life: Guilt. Desperation. Special needs. Real hunger and thirst. Deep hurt. Powerful pain. We have all prayed from these places many times. What if our overall desire for prayer was just to be with our Lord? What if prayer times were about loving on our Abba? What if we entered His presence to have a Father/Child communion time? Prayer should be about being with Him.
“O LORD, in distress they sought you; they poured out a whispered prayer when your discipline was upon them. Like a pregnant woman who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near to giving birth, so were we because of you, O LORD” Isaiah 26:16-17 (ESV).
