Let my prayer be...

Let my prayer be... (Ps. 141?).

I would not say that I have not prayed last14 years of my Christian life nor that I have not learned something of prayer. But this past year, I have the urge to pursue the matter of prayer.

Whenever I consider the matter of prayer, the analogy of my relationship with my wife comes into my mind. I have been married almost 14 years (interestingly enough, I also have been married to Christ 14 years). I have done the things that married couples do. However, I see that there is alot of room for improvement. Am I happy with my wife? Am I happy with God? Yes, but I realize that we need something more and something deeper.

Sometimes (or more like, most of the times), I get antsy. I cannot sit still. I like to do things. It is hard for me to pray in a closet. Preaching the gospel is easier and serving the Lord is preferable.

So Lord,
1. let me see the value of prayer
2. Lord, increase my quality time with you and my wife
3. Lord, I would like to learn how to hear You. It is no fun, when I do all the talking.
4. I would like to learn how to serve You in prayer.

This is my two cents for now.
