WILL GOD PLEASE ANSWER MY PRAYERS? (2)

Post date: Oct 20, 2020 12:26:50 AM

“Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” Matthew 6:6. You may pray in secret personally or in the open, or pray with people, but it is very certain that when the answer to your prayers comes from the Lord, it will not be a secret affair anymore, it will open for all to see and for you to show it to the world. The place of prayer is where secrets are revealed and wonders are proclaimed by the Lord and achieved the peace we deserve; a place where all the impossibilities in our lives are exchanged for God’s possibility, a place where obstacle are rolled away, hardship is taken away, tears are wiped and relieve given to our hearts. If we do not fail in prayer; if we do not give up praying despite adversities; if we are consistent and faithful, we will definitely see answers manifesting in our lives. God loves our consistency, loves faithfulness, and enjoys our willingness to be in His presence in prayers. Prayer is a spiritual engagement carried out in the physical; it is a verbal action from our heart, and it is a state we show our continuous presence before God throughout the day. Prayer requires personal determination, knowledge of God and of Christ, persistence, purpose, and continuity until the expected results are obtained.

We pray because we are human, we are limited in all things and we are weak in all senses but the God we serve is not a man like us; He is never weak, He is unlimited in all areas of knowledge, in all wisdom, and in power. In prayers, we tell God what we cannot tell any man, we tell God what we have told people and yet see no result despite promises; in prayer, we find help when and where no one is willing or able to help. In prayer, we find and obtain comfort in our pains, in our frustrations, in our troubles, and in our sorrows. In prayer, we exchange our heavy heart for the Lord’s comfort and assurance. In prayer, we hide nothing even our worst sins and weakness from God. In prayers we tell God all our worries, impossibilities, struggles, and fears; we tell Him the hindrances we face each day and on every side. In prayers we report our strong enemies to Him, we report the enemies we cannot fight, we report the enemies we cannot defeat, and we report the enemies who have refused to leave us or stop their wicked afflictions in our lives and in prayers, we hide nothing from God.

The alter of prayers is not a place we showcase our strength, our eloquence, our knowledge, our wisdom, or our wealth before God; it is the place we show Him our faithfulness and believe in His word, show Him our total dependence on His help and power; show Him our submissiveness to His commands and express our willingness to humble ourselves in obedience to what He says and demands from us. Prayer is the place we tell God all that is in us, what is with us, and what our expectations are in life. “Jesus also told this parable to people who were sure of their own goodness and despised everybody else. Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray, one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood apart by himself and prayed, I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, dishonest, or an adulterer, like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like that tax collector over there. I fast two days a week, and I give you one-tenth of all my income. But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on his breast and said, God, have pity on me, a sinner. I tell you said Jesus, the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great.” Luke 18:11-14.

God can do all things in the life of a believer but He wants us to show our desires for those things in our prayers as Jesus Christ did for Himself in His prayers so that do not misuse or fail to give Him thanks in our lives. In prayers, we tell God what we have done, what we intend to do, seek His guardians, His help, and His blessings on the way. In prayers, we seek and obtain access to the spiritual through grace and faith in Christ Jesus our Lord. For prayers, Click here
