Eloquence is not important.
The number of words is not important.
Sophistication is useless.
Pouring out your heart in faith is important.
Struggling with your mind and thoughts is important.
Understanding your deficiency is important.
Recognizing God's sovereignty is vital.
It's not the prayer that is powerful but the One you are praying to.
Prayer takes your needs and thoughts to the One who can do something about them. It is not something we should set aside.
- If we don't have time for it, we are too busy.
- If we don't feel comfortable with it, we should discover why.
- If we don't know what to say, it's because we have not developed the mindset for it.
There is nothing that can replace prayer. Yes, God knows what you need. He also knows how to supply it. He does not need the reminder. WE need the reminder though!
There are some things that He will not give us unless we ask for them. The second half of James 4:2 says, "Yet you do not have because you do not ask."
Could it be that sometimes we are guilty of blaming God for not providing the things we never asked Him to provide?
