Do you believe in the power of prayer? Or let me ask it this way, do you REALLY believe in the power of prayer? I like to think that I do. I believe that there is serious strength in prayer. Sometimes it\u2019s easy for us to get caught up in praying just to pray. I know I have caught myself doing that. But for the past few years, I have been praying prayers of expectation. Where I expect God to hear me. And one thing that I learned a long time ago, be ready for the answer. God may or may not give you the answer you\u2019re looking for. But when he does answer, you\u2019ll know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I love it when I get what I call God winks. This morning as one of those times. As I was reading and writing, I read something that my pastor posted this morning. He writes, \u201cPrayer is the single most powerful tool we have on earth. And yet so many people misunderstand it or ignore it all together\u2026prayer is simply our ability to talk directly to God and to listen to God tell us how to live our lives.\u201d Spot on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must remember that God is our Lord and Savior. He is our father in heaven. He wants to hear from us. And for him to do so, we must pray. And after we pray, we must learn to listen to God\u2018s voice. To hear what he is saying. He will give us the guidance we need. But we must listen. We must look for the answer. If you don\u2019t already, let\u2019s make today the beginning of regular prayer to God. Let\u2019s make today the beginning of believing in the power of prayer. Let\u2019s begin praying prayers of expectation. Expecting him to hear us. Let\u2019s realize that God desires to spend time with us. Let\u2019s let God take control. Let\u2019s put him in charge. And then let\u2019s watch the difference that he makes in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
