What
is Prayer?
The
inevitable result of faith in a personal God is the desire to
communicate
with Him.To the Christian,whose God desires to share Himself,prayer is
not a mysterious abracadabra,but
a personal,respectful
communication.Paul
advises in PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7,"Be careful for nothing,but in
everything,by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving,let your requests be
made
known
unto God,which passeth all understanding,shall keep your hearts and
minds
through Christ Jesus."
Whatever
the other results,peace of mind is the product of prayer.Jesus taught
that
unlimited power is available through the prayers of those who believe
that
God is willing to answer.Yet He Himself,through
asking God to prevent
His
crucifixion,concluded,"nevertheless,not my will,but thine,be done."God
hears our prayers but in His infinite wisdom does not always
answer
them
as we perfer.And we should not limit ourselves to praying only when we
want something.The Bible includes many prayers of confession of thanks
and of pure praise to God...
