This Sunday I begin my five week series on "Growing in Your Life of Prayer." My series will be based on the book The Circle Maker by Rev. Mark Batterson.
God has given us the privilege of prayer and we do pray because of the promises in Scripture. Our Lord said, "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (Matthew 21:22) In giving us this promise, we understand that we have a relational God - one who made a covenant with Noah and every living creature and gave us the rainbow as a sign of the covenant.
We pray because we believe and lean on the promise of God.
I will be using the story of the two blind men who approached Jesus and asked for mercy. Jesus asked them: "What do you want me to do for you?" Did Jesus even need to ask? Jesus asked this question because he wanted the men to articulate what their needs were. We also need to spell out our desires before God.
Take a look at your prayers. Are you praying for what is in your heart? Maybe you don't have because you simply haven't approached God to ask in prayer!
Open yourself up to this wonderful avenue God has given you. Your dreams can become a reality if you believe in an all-powerful God!
