Being "In Prayer"
Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever
you ask for in prayer." (NIV)
God may not give us unlimited power when we pray. There may be a
reason for this. The reason God may not give us unlimited power when we
pray is probably because He knows that such power will be abused when
sin enters in. That's why we never fully believe…because sin enters
in. When we receive what we pray for, and we receive it because we
believe, we believed and received because we raised up the voice of our
heart to God…and we believed He heard us without sin entering into our
plea and petition.
When we believe and we are "in prayer", God will make us
whole, and He will give us everything we need if we are really "in
prayer" as Jesus says we are to be. To be "in prayer"
does not mean we take a list of stuff we want for ourselves to Him. What
"in prayer" does mean is we can take a list of our heartaches,
burdens, and pain to Him and He will listen and answer us. Being
"in prayer" is not saying words. Being "in prayer"
means we are talking directly with God in a state of our mind and heart
where we submit our will to him…where we place our whole life in His
hands. Being "in prayer" is a state in our heart, mind, and
life where we bow down before Him, in reverence, in awe, in wonder, and
most of all, in love for Him because He sent his Son to die for us.
