Jesus talks to Himself?

 Have you ever found yourself talking to yourself  . . . . and answering? Weird huh? Well, God does it too. Yes, Jesus talks to Himself . . . prays to Himself . . . about you and me! That is awesome!!!!

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. (Romans 8:34)

Jesus prayed for Peter even before Peter denied Him,  so that he would be restored back to Him and even to help the fellow believers be stronger! He even prayed for you and me before going to the cross:

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. (John 17:20-23)

The next time you feel alone, and find yourself talking to yourself, know that Jesus is talking to Himself too . . . about you! 

How to Pray?

 When you pray, do not keep talking on and on. That is what ungodly people do. They think they will be heard because they talk a lot. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need even before you ask him.“ This is how you should pray. . . . . (Matthew 6:7-9)

We all have heard the passages from Matthew 6 called the "Lord's Prayer". May I suggest reading John 17 if you really want to hear the Lord pray! These verses in Matthew 6 are actually Jesus sharing with us HOW to pray!

We are not to repeat seminarian words, drag our prayers out, or even speak in a churchy voice. God wants us to be honest, heart-felt, and real. Our Father wants to know our inner most fears and desires. Yes, we should pray scriptures back to God (His words anyway) but not simply to let everyone know we have memorized them!

Just talk to Abba Father . . . share your emotions, joys, needs, but most of your love 💗 for Him! He is God! He is Provider! He is Healer! He is All and All in All! He is our Father!!!!

Let's pray with hearts lifted to God and exposed to God as was Jesus' heart in John 17. (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2017&version=NIRV)
