Prayer is no time to take sides with man's institutions, agendas, nor power grabs.
Prayer is the time for alignment with the heart of God.
It is a time to be generous with our perceived adversaries, enemies, and friends.
It is a time to seek and be sought.
It is a time to adjust our heart attitudes to a place of caring genuinely for the well being of a neighbor.
It is a time to come with an open slate on which God can imprint His law of love as He did on the mountain tablets.
God does not need to hear us preach to Him in prayer, but we desperately need a word from God.
" Let me hear what God the LORD will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints;
but let them not turn back to folly.
Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land."Psalm 85:8-9 (ESV)
I can pray to hear and I do.
I can embrace the peace and I do.
I can receive the salvation and anticipate the glory.
I do.
But …
Let me not turn back to folly for folly follows my soul.
Therefore, I must walk around with these words more intimately and …
I must walk with the Word who breathed them first into the soul of the psalmist.
A Singer's Prayer: Father, tune my heart to be in tune with Thine eternal C .
And, if it takes A-440 to get there, so be it.

The best line in this video is "and she doesn't miss a beat."
So may it be for us in prayer when the strings break.
