Well, that’s something that I
have been pondering on especially after this morning when a devastatingly
painful choice had to be made and it hit me that my only solace is God. No
amount of comfort could make sense and I only found myself comforted by
screaming out to God.
And so I ask, why do you pray?
Do you pray because something
bad has happened to trigger you to reach out to God?
Or do you pray to create and
foster intimacy with God when everything is super cool.
Unfortunately, most of us fall
in the category of them that seek the Lord when the rubber meets the road as an
option of quick fix our situation.
When we pray with the intent of
twisting God to act on our situations the way we want it to be like what we are
doing is pretty wrong.
God can never be manipulated. We
pray to catch up with Him and that in the intimacy of our conversation and
getting to listen from God, we get in synched with the Holy Spirit. Once connected,
the Holy Spirit who reveals to us all things and the mind of God begins to help
us understand the place of God in that situation and how we eventually are to
pray about it
Pray not because you want God to
do something for you but pray that you may get to know who God is and hear Him
and what He has to say in your situation…
