We should bear the burden for our own lives, seek and pray often for the truths we don’t understand, and pray for the growth of our spiritual life. Only such prayers are in concert with God’s intentions and will be approved by God.
It really is so good to say my heartfelt words to God in my prayers. I realize that only if our prayers are aimed to satisfy God and to pursue the truth, can they be approved by God, and can we have the hope of being saved.
Therefore, when we pray, we should have a God-revering heart, accept God’s observation, and say what is really within our hearts to God. Only thus can our prayers please God.
The Lord Jesus said, “When the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him” (John 4:23).
O dear Abba Father, You are the truth and the way, You are the life, You are the lamp before our feet and the light on our path. … You are the head of our family.
About this question, I think the main reason is that we didn’t grasp the principles of prayer. As a matter of fact, many times when we prayed to the Lord, we just said what we wanted to say to Him.
The Bible says, “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you” (James 4:8). As Christians, only by drawing closer to God and having real interaction with God can we maintain a normal relationship with God and obtain the work of the Holy Spirit.
