Reader-Friend Question:
How do you get a prayer through when you are sitting at a desk and cannot pray outwardly?
Stanice Says...
Inaudibly. God is omnipresent. He is in us, through us, all around us, under us over us, surrounds us, envelopes us so (1) envision myself in the Throne room of God...I ask the Holy Spirit to usher me there ...take a minute...go there in the Spirit and think a prayer...say it in my mind with all my heart, and (2) light barely audible grunts and moans, as part of and along with using my heavenly language which I know prays in the perfect will of God, (3) write out a prayer...close my eyes and just type. (4) Sometimes I sing...thinking the song, actually singing or humming the song... Then there was always the go to the bathroom to the last stall at any place of employment I may be...and down to the garage...must admit this habit came about during my smoking cigarette days...but after I stopped smoking I knew I could walk that garage and talk to God and tell Him all about whatever. I could also mentally and spiritually start my day over again after talking with Him. Bottom line...the beauty and purpose of prayer is to be in His Presence...sometimes it's communicating with Him and always Him communicating with me. I'm just renewed having spent time with him...whether 30 seconds or 1 hour... the results are the same...peace even in the midst of a raging storm.
GOD'S HOLY WORD Says...
Jude 1:20
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:26
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
1 Corinthians 14:15
So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.
fyi...I look up scripture references at www.biblegateway.com A wonderful resource.
