Devotional for Today
By Olivia Williams
Our Father in heaven, reveal who you are. Set the world right; do what’s best—as above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You’re in charge! You can do anything you want! You’re ablaze in beauty! Yes. Yes. Yes. Matthew 6:9-13, Message.
During my senior year of academy I got the chance to go to the Southern Union Prayer Conference at Camp Kulaqua in Florida. I was so excited. There were going to be lots of kids from other academies, and the activities were going to be super fun! I was also looking forward to it because it would be a chance to grow in my relationship with God.
We were at the conference for three days. With a total of 11 academies represented, we had about 300 kids there. Each day we had worship in the morning before breaking into our prayer groups, where we would talk and get to know each other. We also discussed subjects that academy and high school students face on a day-to-day basis. We prayed, but I kept thinking the whole time I was there that we weren’t praying as much as I thought we were going to. Sure, we prayed a fair amount, but it was a “prayer” conference.
On the way back home I was sitting, thinking about the week, and I realized something: it’s not how much you pray, even though we should pray often. It’s how you pray to God.
When you’re praying, do you find yourself distracted? I often do. So I thought, If I pray to God the way I talk to my best friend, maybe I won’t get distracted as much. Talking to Him about anything and everything, in the way I talk to my friends, also helps me pray more often, and more comfortably, to Him.
So go and pray to God the way you would talk to a friend and see how much more you tell Him about your day, your friends, and your life.
