This was a google that landed on my site. And after a moment, I thought it was a REALLY good question.
How does it feel to pray to Jesus? I’ll give you my response and then I’d love to hear everyone else’s.
It feels: comforting, good, safe, happy, loving, relaxing, relieving, beautiful, joyful, heavy-hearted at times, and wonderful.
When I sit down to pray, when I lay it all on the line and say, “Ok, God, here it is” something is lifted off of my shoulders, I can breathe afterwards, and I can continue on with my day a bit lighter. Sometimes I still try to carry my burdens by myself but throughout the day He constantly reminds me I am not alone. I always end the day lighter than I began it.
Safe is my favorite descriptive word. I can tell God anything, things I would never tell others and I’m never judged in return. In fact, I feel He embraces me in my darkest hours–when no one else could or when I don’t allow anyone else to. He’s there. Always. And we can talk about anything.
Sometimes I am mad at God. I do question His ways because I don’t understand them. I question my earthly existence and things that happen. But I never question Him.
Praying is one of the best gifts God has given us. It’s a way to Him, through Jesus, that sometimes is the only thing we have to hang on to. Prayer is the only thing we have when we receive the phone call in the middle of the night and the rest of our body is numb and our brain has shut down. God gets us through and praying is how we can connect with Him.
The more you pray, the more you feel God, know God, and love God. The more you pray, the easier life is.
Prayer is a critical component to knowing God. And it’s one of the easiest. You can do it anytime, anywhere.
All it takes is “God…” The rest is taken care of.
