Prayer changes Me

Prayer is my constant conversation with God. He doesn't judge my words. He doesn't judge my thoughts. Don't get me wrong... He will, one day, judge all of them. But for now, He accepts me the way I am. He loves me and forgives me when I get mad at Him. He loves me when I judge. He loves me when I hate.  He has a way of gently wrapping His loving arms around me and reminding me that He gave it all for me when he sent Jesus to pay the ultimate penalty for me.   He reminds me and teaches me through His word- the Bible- to love when I don't feel like it, to forgive when I don't want to forgive and to give grace because I've been given grace.  Learning to Love others is hard because I don't want to, but, Again, (I'm so hard headed) He shows me love...He shows me Grace, so how can I not do the same? Prayer is where it all starts. A conversation with God in my head (and sometimes I have to yell real LOUD), and hearing His Voice through His Word. And that makes all the difference. He is changing me. It's a slow process.
