Rev 8:3 And
another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there
was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which
was before the throne. 4 And the smoke
of the incense, which came with
the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it
with fire of the altar, and cast it
into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an
earthquake.
Measly and pusillanimous,
that is how I generally regard my prayer efforts. I don't pray enough, there is
not enough passion in my prayers. Sometimes they don’t seem to resonate. They
proceed more as cacophony than symphony. They are not thorough enough. So much
to pray for, so few prayers offered up.
Encouraging
though, what prayers I do pray, as a child of the Most High, are regarded by
heaven as a sweet-smelling savor which engulf the throne.
With all that
God has to do, the Almighty desires communication with me, one of His kids.
Imagine that, I get to incense heaven
with my petitions, praise and intercessions!
Thank you, dear
Lord, for hearing and answering my prayers. Forgive my lack of communication
with you. May the words of my lips and the meditations of my heart be
acceptable unto you. All-knowing God, know that I love you supremely. I offer
you my service today. Empower it with your Holy Spirit. Amen!
May it be your will Triune, and in Jesus name... amen.
