As we continue our series on seeking God, today we'll explore the beauty of seeking God through prayer.

How amazing is our Father that He wants to commune with us, with you, with me.

Take a second to fathom how incredible that truly is.

Today may your heart be stirred to take advantage of the unbelievable gift of prayer as you

experience God today.

Welcome to the First 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Matthew 6 verse 6, Scripture says,

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door

and pray to your father who is in secret.

The fact that God listens to us as his children

changes the landscape of prayer from empty phrases uttered

into the abyss to direct communication with the creator and sustainer of all.

When you pray, you are heard by your Heavenly Father. And it's because he listens to us

that prayer is one of the most wonderful and powerful avenues

to pursue him.

May we learn to dialogue in greater ways with our Heavenly Father

as we open our hearts to all he would show us today about prayer.

Matthew 6 verses 7 through 8 says,

And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases

as the Gentiles do,

for they think they will be heard for their many words.

Do not be like them,

for your father knows what you need before you ask him.
