Have you ever had a day where everything seemed to go wrong, and you prayed for a better day several times, but nothing seemed to change? Don't say you haven't had a day like that, cuz everyone does!!!! When last nights assignment goes missing the next morning, what's the first thing you want to do? Scream and sob and say, "IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!". Only when it starts to look hopeless do we remember to pray and ask for Him to help us find that stupid history homework. I realize that sometimes, the first thing you do is pray, but most Christians I know will try and do it themselves before asking God for a little help.
I can give a pretty good example... One night I was searching for my algebra homework that I had halfway done in class and was hoping to finish quickly before I went to bed. I searched all over, checking everywhere three times or more, before I thought to pray. So I laid back and prayed that God would help me find my homework. I sat back up, picked up my binder, riffled through the pages and found...... MY HOMEWORK!!!!!! I remember uttering a short "thank you" prayer before rushing to finish my homework, which wasn't enough thanks for even that small favor He helped me out with.
Now, I know you're all like "Well what if He doesn't help me?" It may not look like He's done much, but if you reflect back on that time, say you couldn't find your homework, and went to school without it, were you given an extra credit opportunity? Or maybe the teacher forgot to take up the homework, or maybe she did. Maybe you lost credit for not having it, but were allowed to make it up for twenty points deducted. Teachers are generally reasonable and will allow you to fix it, they don't want you to fail (although some may seem like it)! But what if it isn't school related? What if you've been praying for your crush to ask you out, and one day he/she asks out your best friend. Maybe this guy/girl isn't right for you, and although its heartbreaking, there are other people out there, a soul mate, I promise. And so does He. There's always a prayer to be made, there always a prayer to be said, and He always hears you.

Prayer is such a big part of our life but yet such a small part. It should be easy to talk to our loving savior but instead we push it back saying I will pray tomorrow or next time. The Bible talks of prayer not as an occasional thing we do at dinner but as a way of life. A song by Michael W. Smith based on a Psalms talks living a prayer. Everything you do as a personal relationship with Jesus. For truly the only way to become closer to God is by knowing him greater which can only come about by talking to him alot. Its like having a friend. The only way to get closer to your friend is to spend time with him/her. How much cooler would it be to have a best friend who is the Lord of the Universe!
