Divine insight

God really spoke to me through this prayer devotional this morning and really put into perspective His desire for us to know His heart.

" One of the main reasons so many Christians fail to pray or believe the wrong things about prayer is the seeming "hit or miss" aspect to much of our praying. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We develop a bad theology to cover our misses and turn prayer into something it was never meant to be. This problem happens when we look at prayer as a way of getting things from God. But prayer is not "my way of getting things from God." Prayer is God's chosen way of accomplishing His will on this planet! Our job in prayer is to draw near in intimacy. As we begin to understand a bit of the Lord's heart on a matter, then we begin to ask Him to accomplish what is already His will. It is at that point that prayer becomes a powerful change agent to achieve the Lord's purposes.

Prayer:
I thank You Lord, that You have not left us to our own devices to fight this battle. You have provided for us the powerful sword of Your Word, and the amazing gift of prayer. In Your holy name, Lord Jesus, we take up Your Word and ask You to make us more and more a people of Your Word. Show us how to effectively bring Your Word before You in prayer in such a way that the enemy is defeated.

Have a very bless day. Live A Praying Life!"
