Sometimes we are asking God to reveal his presence, provisions and purpose in our lives and we pray like we are trying to get God's attention but I think prayer has less with getting God's attention but He getting mine.

About This Quote

Prayer is a powerful way of communicating with God. In order to get God's attention, you have to be willing to open up and share what's on your mind. But, one of the most important things is to not worry about what you need to ask for. If you are telling God what you want, instead of who you are, you will be praying like you are trying to get God's attention. But, if you are praying like you are trying to get His attention, then He will be focused on your needs and not your wants.
