Is Prayer a Burden?
Christ likens his relationship with his people to that of a husband and wife, and the Bible says Jesus delights in us, so what should a healthy relationship with God look like.

Many Christians pray only out of a sense of obligation. They think of prayer as something they are “supposed” to do, but God longs to hear from us.
Once a believer’s tongue and lips are truly purged, we will never again want to speak anything that is unlike Jesus. The words that flow from us will be pure.
God will reach his mighty hand into a repentant believer’s heart and pluck out all roots of fear so that he will know the immeasurable favor and blessing of God.
The repentant Christian can be overwhelmed by sorrow and weariness. However, the Lord always comes to touch his body, to give him renewed peace and strength.
No matter what sins believers fall into, God is ready to come and bring us out of our despair, to break everything that binds us and set us free, as soon as we cry out to him.
Each believer is like a bird who has become trapped in a net of sin. The fowler is the devil who has laid his trap and caught us in it; but God has rescued us and set us free.
Satan wants us to be a despairing believer distracted by the cares of life, but we must resist the devil’s lies and worship God with all our heart and mind.
The flesh will always try to interfere with our worship or our prayer time. We are commanded to resist the flesh, and we must keep bringing Jesus back into focus.
The book of Isaiah predicted that God would create a new pillar and cloud to cover his people. This means God’s last-days remnant people will have clear direction.
