Prayer Isn’t Asking, It’s Approaching
Prayer is not a system of petitions designed to get God's attention, it is an approach into relationship. God already knows what we have need of, so the aim of prayer shifts from securing an answer to abiding in His presence. The kingdom of heaven is described as a hidden treasure and a pearl of great price, worth surrendering everything for, found within rather than requested from outside. When we pray your kingdom come, we are not asking for something future, we are calling forth what God has already spoken as true right now. Like a seed taking root unseen, the answer is already growing before it becomes visible.
“God's more interested in the approach than he is the request.”
“Anyone can enter into his presence because prayer literally means to approach. Not so much request. It's approach.”
“If He knows that you're only gonna come to Him for a relationship when you have a need, if I'm God, I'm gonna make sure you have a whole bunch of needs.””
“He wants to hear from me. He wants to share something with me, because that's what love does. It's the nature of love. That's prayer.”
“If His will is done in my life, what request do I have left?”
“God's answer to prayer many, many times, is redirecting us into a relationship with who He is instead of what we need.”
