Todays subject is one of my favorites!!! Prayer, Jack!!
I love praying, I love talking about praying, I love praying for others and I love praying OVER others.
So… Lets dive in.
Prayer is so important. It's a way to connect with God, a way to understand what He is saying. God answers questions through prayers, He gives you direction through prayer. Comfort, solace, relief and a sense of love, are all things God communicates through prayer, and sometimes He even leaves you hanging in your prayers…But guess what? He is allowed to do that…He's GOD!
There were two passages in todays message that really stuck out that I feel really wrap up what I just stated above, maybe a little more eloquently…
"Prayer does not give you spiritual power. Prayer aligns your life with God so that He chooses to demonstrate His power through you. The Purpose of prayer is not to convince God to change your circumstances but to prepare you to be involved in God's activity."
"Prayer is designed to adjust you to God's will, not to adjust God to your will. If God has not responded to what you are praying, you may need to adjust your praying to align with God's agenda. Rather than focusing on what you would like to see happen, realize that God may be more concerned with what He wants to see happen in you."
ALL ABOARD THE TRUTH TRAIN!!
This message gets me all kinds of excited, I hope it has the same effect on you.
Take some time out of your busy day to spend with God. The beautiful thing about prayer is its extremely portable! Talk to God wherever you are, about whatever is on your mind…He was, is and always will be there to listen.
