02 - 2026 Foundational Blocks of Biblical Prayer - Essence of Prayer- Pt 2 From the Heart.

God’s desire is truth in the innermost being Psalm 51:6 this is poignantly true in prayer. We look today at how infants and parents first communicate.Babies sometimes just need their parents. When they cry, often, they want mom or dad, and our presence, tone, and countenance soothe them. But they don’t understand the words: “I love you.”When they are in danger, they need our protection through our presence, tone, and countenance. But they don’t understand: Stop! That’s Hot!In Jesus’s initial lesson in prayer (Matthew 6), He warns us against meaningless repetition. God wants to hear sincerely from our hearts. Psalm 51:7: prayer from a broken and contrite heart. Psalm 62:8 and Jeremiah 29:12-13“‘Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 ‘And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 ‘And I will be found by you,’ declares the LORD,’”Our So What?Trust, as an infant does, when they call out in cries, longing for closeness to mom or dad. Trust and be completely honest from the heart. Fear, sorrow, anger, repentance, love all of it.When Robert Murray M'Cheyne said, "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more.,” is true whether we converse with Him from the heart or from meaningless repetition. Sincerity pleases our Father who resides in the heavenlies, farm more than empty eloquence.Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let’s pray for one another.Donation link:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=G9JGGR5W97D64Or go to www.freerangepreacheronprayer.com and use the Donations tab."What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."Robert Murray M'CheyneAssistant Editor: Seven Jefferson Gossardwww.freerangepreacheronprayer.comfreerangeprayer@gmail.comFacebook - Free Range Preacher MinistriesInstagram: freerangeministriesAll our Scripture quotes are drawn from the NASB 1977 edition.For access to the voice-over services of Richard Durrington, please visit RichardDurrington.com or email him at [email protected] podcast art was designed by @sammmmmmmmm23 on InstagramSeason 008 Episode 042
