Powerful Prayer
Write out the words of your favorite worship song.
Psalms 139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts.
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
God has given you a wonderful gift, the gift of prayer. He has given the believer His spirit. By His Spirit and through the atoning work of Christ, He invites you to come into His very presence, into the Holy place.
It is a wonder; this sinful man can come before this Holy God guided by His Spirit. How often though you come to pray and quickly offer up your needs, your desires, then pass lightly over His Word and you are done.
Now you are off to address the issues of the day. Then you wonder if God heard your prayers. Why do my prayers seem so weak? Why do I not have the confidence God will answer my
prayers?
It’s time to get real. Can you really call those few words casually thrown up to God a prayer?
Did those thoughts come from deep within your heart? Did you allow God an opportunity to speak to you? It’s time to get real in your prayers if you are sincere about going on with God.
Today, be quiet before the Lord. Let Him speak, you listen for a change. Remember He loves you, but He really needs to talk with you.
Allow Him to search your heart, listen to what He says.
