James 5:16
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8

Devotion:
Prayer is such an important part of our lives as Christians. It is something we should not neglect. Another thing many of us do, (Myself included) is when we pray we simply pray for all the things we want, and forget to thank God for all the things He does for us! This is not good! I learned something about the order of our prayers:
Adoration (Praising God for who He is)
Confession (forgiveness for things we've done)
Thankfulness (thanking Him for his blessings)
Supplication (asking for our needs/wants and those of others)
God is always waiting to talk to us but sometimes we may just get too caught up with life. This makes God sad. As His friends we should want to talk to Him so that we can get to know Him better. Remember, prayer is not just a one way street. We talk to God, but we also need to take time to listen to what He is trying to tell us. Let us not forget our Prayer Lives!
God's Blessings To You,
