A Prayer Answering God

As we heard this week prayer is critical to living a life that glorifies God. Prayer is something we all talk about but so often we miss how truly central it should be in our lives. I think one of the reasons we don’t pray with greater passion and frequency is because we doubt know how truly effective it is. So I encourage you this week to go through the Bible and look at the different prayers that are prayed and pay close attention to how they are answered. I think you will be amazed how God answers prayer. You must always remember that we worship a prayer hearing, prayer answering God, a wonder-working God!

Here are some examples to get you started: Read 1 Kings 17:17-24, 2 Kings 6:8-20, Acts 12:1-19.

If God answered their prayers what would lead you to believe He doesn’t want to answer your prayers? God may not always answer the way you would prefer but He answers in a way that is for your greatest good and for the good of the kingdom.

Don’t just take my word for it….

“If you are a stranger to prayer you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.” Billy Sunday

“There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God.” Brother Lawrence

“Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.” Corrie ten Boom

“The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God’s standing challenge, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not!‘” J. Hudson Taylor

So I beg you to not delay and begin NOW a life of prayer!!
