Prayer

These are my notes from this afternoon's Word by Ruby
Very interesting topic - Prayer
What's prayer?
CCC2559: Prayer is the raising of one's mind & heart to God OR the requesting of good things from the God.

CCC2560: Prayer is the encounter of God's thirst with ours. God's thirsts that we may thirst for him.

What do we receive from Prayer?
The strength of Spirit(Ps 118-6)
Guidance(Is 58:8-11)
Peace(Phil 4:6-7)
Wisdom
Joy
Healing

Why are we not capable enough to pray at times?

Our relationship with God is not right
We do not give priority to God
God's word is not in our hearts
We do not create space and time for prayer
We are not honest to God

What can we do to increase God's love in us?
We have to learn to pray
