“You’re an Original He fashions their hearts individually. (PSALM 33:15 NKJV) Psalm 33:15 speaks about us as individuals. Because God has fashioned our hearts individually, our prayers need to flow naturally out of our hearts and be consistent with the way He has designed us. As we develop our individual styles of communication with God, we can learn from people who may be more experienced than we are, but we need to be careful not to imitate them or allow them to set standards for us. I hope to be an example to many, but I want Jesus to be their standard. There is nothing at all wrong with incorporating something someone else is doing into your own prayer life if you truly feel God’s Spirit is leading you to do so, but it is wrong to force yourself to do what others do if you are not comfortable with it in your spirit. “I encourage you to develop your own style of talking to God and listening to His voice. Don’t try to keep up with others or copy their prayer styles—and don’t feel compelled to work every “prayer principle” you have ever learned every time you pray. Just be who you are, remembering that God has fashioned you just the way He wants you to be, that He takes pleasure in who you are, and that He wants to speak to you in unique and personal ways. GOD’S WORD FOR YOU TODAY: God loves who you are and how you talk. Don’t be shy with Him.” Excerpt From: Meyer, Joyce. “Hearing from God Each Morning.” Faith Words, 2010-01-08. iBooks.
