The Spirit is wild. Tina, this felt like it was written for me. I operate the same way in prayer and often need to hear, “go to sleep.” Thanks for sharing this.

WOW AJ!!! The Spirit is truly wild! It was written for you AJ! I love how the Lord moves in such intimate ways through us toward others! I thank God for using me in such a beautiful way.

I am also so glad to know that I have another Sister in Christ who operates in prayer much like myself! LOL! You are not alone! You're so welcome! Thank you so much for sharing. Your words mean so much to me! Many blessing and much love to you and yours AJ :)

"Praying continually is a posture.

It’s presence, not productivity.

It’s not a check mark on my to-do list.

It’s a constant awareness of the Lord.

It’s being still and knowing that He is God, and I am not."

This really stood out to me because so many of us treat prayer like a to-do list item. We're not doing the Heavenly Father any favors. It's a gift, through Jesus Christ, to have the ability to talk to God, give Him our worries, and praise Him for His goodness. And like you said, short meaningful prayers are better than lengthy ones that hold no weight. Thanks for this reminder to ensure our hearts are in the right place. And not only this....to ensure we're taking time to rest in Christ rather than depending on our own strength.

God bless you and your family and take care!

You are such a priceless Sister in Christ Ashante! I appreciate your wisdom, insight, and love so much.

You are absolutely right in saying that, “We’re not doing the Heavenly Father and favors.” You said it perfectly. It truly is a huge gift to be able to commune with our Father whenever we want! May I never ever take that privilege lightly.

Thank you for just being Beautiful You Ashante! Much love to you and many blessings to you and yours :) (((HUGS)))
