24​ Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling,
​ ​ And to present you faultless
​ ​Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,
25 To God our Savior,​
​Who alone is wise,
​ ​Be glory and majesty,
​ ​Dominion and power,
​ ​Both now and forever.
​ ​Amen.
–Jude 24,25 (N​KJV​)
​Our prayers​ should always contain adoration and praise for our Creator. He alone is worthy of our praise. Just as any parent wants to hear their children say “I love you”, so does our Father want to hear us say it. Take the time to sit in His presence and commune with Him. He has something to say to you, so don’t talk “to” God, talk “with” God, Speak to Him and then wait on Him to respond. Most of all, remember, not every prayer has to be a request, sometimes He wants to hear from us just because we love Him. Consider the possibility that if God answered each of our prayers immediately, He knows that He wouldn’t hear from us again until another need arose. He is our Creator, but He is also our Father. Once we have acknowledged Him as our Lord and Savior, He also wants to be our closest Friend. So, as we pour out what is in our hearts to Him, we also need to praise Him and just love on Him. He is waiting to hear from each of us.
