Prayer should be simple, natural

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

When you hear the word “prayer”, you see pictures in your mind of kneeling, eyes closed and maybe even a church building. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Prayer is not limited by posture, pose, place or even certain people. That is what is so amazing about prayer. Anyone, anywhere, at any time, can pray. Yes, you can talk to God and he will hear you. You may say, “I am not good enough”.

Then you probably are the perfect person to get your prayers heard.

Throughout the Bible a clear pattern developed where God responded to humble people instead of religious people.

Prayers should be simple, natural and even short. Jesus, in a simple teaching on prayer, warns us to keep it short.

Matthew 8:8, “And when you pray do not keep babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.”

Keep it short, simple and sincere.
