Prayer is an HONEST conversation with God Almighty.
Prayer is NOT a monologue.
STOP and listen for the Lord's response during prayer.
"I will answer them BEFORE they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and ANSWER their prayers!" Isaiah 65:24 NLT
"But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the LORD who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I the LORD, have spoken!" Jeremiah 9:24 NLT
