Acts 10:4
Cornelius stared at him in terror. “What is it, sir?” he asked the angel. And the angel replied, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering!
Little do we know how pleased and honored God is when we pray. It may seem routine and rote to us, but to God our prayers are like sweet music to his ears. Perhaps it is a bit like parents of a teenager getting unsolicited conversation from their son/daughter. Maybe, not even asking for something!!
When you pray today, think of it as an offering to God.
