Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.\u201d Psalm 61:1<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David reveals an important ingredient that should be in more prayers \u2014 a cry.&nbsp;A \u201ccry\u201d is a desperate utterance, often accompanied by heartfelt tears.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, prayers are not the sincere pleas in times of distress they should be. For many, their prayers are more like a list a child hopes Santa Claus will fulfill.&nbsp;Their \u201cprayer\u201d usually goes something like: \u201cGimmee this and gimme that.&nbsp;Oh, yea.&nbsp;Bless Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Frank, and keep the bullies away.&nbsp;Oh Lord, could you give me an \u2018A\u2019 in Arithmetic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, \u201clists\u201d are the most popular form of talking to God.&nbsp;Occasionally, one will open a prayer book and recite what someone else has written and labeled to be prayed in the situation one finds oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer to a Christian is communicating with a Holy God.&nbsp;He owes us nothing, but we are indebted to Him for everything.&nbsp;It is an honor and privilege that we are even permitted to speak to our Creator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should not dishonor him with empty, thoughtless, insincere pleas. Our conversation with God can be like we have with no other person.&nbsp;We can tell Him everything on our hearts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can tell the Lord things we would dare not tell others. He is our God, and He desires conversation with His people.<br>\u201c<em>But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.\u201d Mat. 6:7<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The words are not as crucial as our sincerity.&nbsp;God is more interested in the condition of our hearts when we talk to Him.&nbsp;A sincere, real \u201ccry\u201d shows Him that we are in desperate need, and He is the only solution to our situation. He sees our reliance and dependence on Him, which is what He desires.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christian,&nbsp;have a real prayer time with God today! Talk to Him as if He is your best friend.&nbsp;He is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Thought:<\/strong><br>\u201cWhen thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words than thy words without heart.\u201d \u2014 Bunyan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Words to Understand:<\/strong><br>Neginah: a stringed instrument<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Today\u2019s Reading:<\/strong><br><em>Psalm 61<br>1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

Selah.<br>5 \u00b6 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.<br>6 Thou wilt prolong the king&#8217;s life: and his years as many generations.<br>7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.<br>8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Nugget:\u201cTo the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.
