Just me trying to be honest with God.

“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God. It changes me.” C. S. Lewis

I find it natural to speak with God, especially when I am interacting with nature. Praying for people is more of a challenge. I suppose I struggle with knowing what to say. I know God does not need my advice on helping others, yet I feel His inner encouragements to pray for them. It may very well be that we pray because He has decided to answer a need in someone's life, and our prayer, at least in part, becomes His instrument to address it.
