"And
whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I
do,
that the
Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye shall
ask any thing in my name,
I will do
it."
John 14:13-14
Prayer Is Miraculous
Prayer is thought of as
a miracle.
In the twinkling of an
eye we can be
in the presence of God.
The channel is always
open for us
through the name of
Jesus.
We never get a busy
signal.
We are never put on
hold.
The answer to our prayer
is also a miracle.
Perhaps there are
myriads of details
that will have to be
ordered to work together
for an answer to our
prayer.
However, God wants us to
come with large petitions.
He wants us to submit
our requests to Him
even when they seem
hopeless.
He loves the faith that
ascribes to Him
the power to overcome
seemingly insurmountable
problems.
Prayer can also be
thought of as worship.
God Himself has taught
us in the Lord's Prayer
to seek His honor first.
May we always be mindful
though,
that prayer is more than
just asking for things.
It is also bringing our
sins to Him
for forgiveness.
It is telling Him how
much we love Him,
how much He means to us,
how much we need Him in
our lives,
and how earnestly we
desire to serve Him.
We can also regard
prayer as a ministry.
Through prayer we can
ask God to bless others.
We invite God's blessing
on people
in our family,
congregation, neighborhood,
work place,
and throughout all the earth.
And yes! . . .
God does answer every
prayer of His children.
Every prayer that is for
our good
and that achieves God's
honor is answered
in His time . . . not
ours.
So . . .
if you're waiting on a
prayer to be answered
from our heavenly
Father,
remember:
Sometimes "Yes",
Sometimes "No"
But always with love
He will answer you.
May you go God in the
worship of prayer,
with faith in your
heart,
today and every day.
"Lord
Dictated Them"
