Beautiful! How could lifting you mind to God ever “not be approved?” God told us to pray without ceasing.
I love this discussion going on about “such and such” is not a proper prayer for God!
God IS.. HE IS BEING...His Will keeps us in existence! HE LIVES IN THE ETERNAL PRESENT! There is no past or future for Him! God is outside of time; it is a meaningless concept for an Eternal Being!!!! That is why Jesus said that Abraham, Isaac and Moses are all present to God—that He is a God of the living! He told Moses from the burning bush, “I AM WHO AM! Tell them I AM sent you!”
So how can something in the Eternal Present be hearing repetition? Let God BE God!
Our lives should be a prayer to God. Everything we do, say and think should be done as an offering to His glory. How much more careful would we be if we knew we were laying our daily lives on His altar?
