K.I.S.S Praying: "What Do You Want?"

Complicating Prayer

Sometimes we make praying more complicated than it needs to be; for example, when "Blind Bartimaeus" heard Jesus was coming by, he saw a golden opportunity to receive his eyesight. He kept it all simple, as in "Keep It Simple Saint." He simply cried out to Jesus until he got Jesus attention. Then Jesus asked him a very important question: "What do you want me to do for you?"  Bart very plainly said, "I want to see."  Guess what? In a very short while he did just that. He received his sight.

When you don't know what to pray, sometimes, effective praying simply means you need to decide to tell the Lord what you want.  You don't have to wax poetic. Your words don't have to be regal, royal or sound as if you are more righteous than are others.  Why? Because God simply wants to hear from you, as His Christ Follower child, what you want. 

Keep your praying simple saint, and be sincere. Pray by faith expecting God to hear. You will be glad you did,
