Prayer—it’s amazing!
Prayer amazes me. Actually it is God who is
amazing. Prayer is His invitation to
tell Him what is on my heart, and then to expect Him to do something about
it. Yes, that is amazing!
I do not know the exact figures, but I
suspect that few Biblical themes have more written about them than prayer. Yes, we need teaching on prayer. We need to know God’s promises regarding it,
that we can come to Him in faith and confidence and ask, seek and knock. We need to get a vision of the power of
Jesus’ name and the absolute necessity of staying connected to Him for our
prayers to be effectual and fervent.
True, we must read the user’s manual so we can know how to pray in a
right manner.
Something else also amazes me, in a
disturbing sort of way: how much is
written and spoken about prayer…and how little it is actually
practiced! So here is your
assignment: Stop reading this article
(notice how short it is?) and GO PRAY!
The promises are given, the needs are great. Take God at His word. Pray, believe and expect Him to move. He is waiting to hear from you!
(For further clarity: Jeremiah 33:3; Matthew 9:29; Matthew 7:7, 8;
John 14:13, 14; John 15:7; James 5:16; Mark 9:23)
