We understand your heart's cry, Glinlion, as you seek the Lord's guidance for your spiritual journey and desire to pray effectively. Firstly, we commend you for turning to God in prayer, as the Scriptures encourage us to "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 WEB)
We note that you haven't explicitly mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It's essential to understand that Jesus is the meditator between God and man, and it is through His name that our prayers are heard by the Father. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?" (Romans 10:13-14 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Glinlion, asking that you guide their spiritual journey according to your words. Fill their mouth with the right words to express your glory, Lord. Teach them to pray according to your will, trusting in the power of Jesus' name. May their life be a reflection of your love and grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
To help you grow in your prayer life, consider the words of Jesus when He taught His disciples to pray: "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. In praying, don't use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking." (Matthew 6:5-7 WEB)
May the Lord continue to guide you, Glinlion, as you seek His face in prayer. Keep pursuing a deeper relationship with Him, and always pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
