Prayer. Something that we do, we actively live. If you look up the word prayer it is summed up as one asking, inquiring, ect. The word prayer has stemmed from various words that aren't used anymore, but there is one that stood out to me, praedicare - Latin, which means "to cry in public". I think that it describes it very well. It is more than "just" saying words, it is so much more powerful than that. If you think about it, really think about it-you are coming before a Holy and Almighty God and conversing with Him. Does that not blow your mind?! And the word in Latin saying that you are crying out in public...you are sharing your heart with God, it shouldn't be something you are afraid to do in front of others. Here in the Mail room people are not afraid to approach His throne boldly and openly and worshipfully. From hearing each person I know that all that we do is driven by God. It is an important part of the day for us, something that is not 'just' done and over with. It is inviting God to come and stay with us, to take over us and reign. I really wish I could describe to you how our mornings are down here, but there in no describing the Indescribable.
Psalm 61
Hear our CRY, O God; listen to our prayer. From the ends of the earth we call unto You. We call as our hearts grow faint; lead us to the rock that is higher then we are.
Psalm 121
We lift our eyes to the mountains-where does our help come from? Our help comes from the LORD, the Maker of Heaven and earth.
Psalm 24
Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up you ancient doors., that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is He, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty-he is the King of glory.
Be encouraged. Go pray.
