I don’t blog every day, but I post all the time.
![Did you know that there is a fantastic promise to prayer?
My knee-jerk reaction when I hear the words promise and prayer in the same sentence is the less than commendable thought, “What’s in it for me?!”
It’s like the “Christmas” of prayer. “What’s in the box, Lord?!” “I hope it’s something that was on my list!”
There is indeed something God promises to give us when we pray, but it may not be what we think. This verse from Jeremiah provides us with a hint:
“I will give them a heart to know Me [understanding fully] that I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:7 AMP
True to form, what matters most to God is what’s inside our lives versus what happens outside. Prayer to God is, first and foremost, about our relationship with Him and the intimacy He longs to have with us.
The truth is that we will only experience the best possible outcomes of our prayers if our prayers become what He wants.
The promise of prayer is not about a guaranteed manifestation of specific outcomes. Instead, the promise is that the more we engage in prayer, the more we will become like our Father.
It follows then that the more we become like Him, the more we will want what He wants. The wonderful news is that God always wants what is best for us. The difference is that He actually knows what is best for us.
Join us as we wind down our series on prayer with this week’s post, “The Most Important Prayer We Can Pray (It May Surprise You)”

FEEDS THAT INSPIRE ME
March of 2020 I spent 10 days in Atlanta with Yoga Faith. It marked the second half of my journey to becoming an RYT-200 Christian yoga teacher. I’ve learned and continue to learn so much about loving God with my mind, BODY and soul through Yoga Faith.❤️
