Hear a just cause, O LORD, Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer which is not from deceitful lips – Psalm 17:1
What does God desire from your prayer? He desires honesty, humility, and obedience. Honesty is about speaking what is truly in your heart instead of saying what you think He wants to hear. This means if you are upset with God, then you tell Him! If you are wondering why He is silent, then you let Him know. If you are disappointed, you don’t hold back. Friend, anything other than your honesty is deceitful. Anything other than your honest reveals that you are not comfortable with God. Humility is about opening the ears of your heart to hear from God after you have spoken honestly. Prayer is not simply an opportunity to vent but an opportunity to hear from Him with a receptive heart. Lastly, prayer is about obedience, which is to listen intently to God with the intention of acting on what He says. The intent to act on God’s words is pivotal to unleashing the power of prayer. So, if you want to pray powerful prayers, focus less on being verbose but pray honestly, humbly, and obediently.
