He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.Psalm 91:15
Prayer is an unnatural activity! From birth we’re taught the rules of self-reliance. Growing up we struggle to achieve self-sufficiency. Prayer flies in the face of those deep-seated values! It’s an indictment of independent living. To people in the fast lane, prayer is an embarrassing interruption, totally alien to our proud human nature. Yet all of us reach the point of falling on our knees and praying. We may look both ways to be sure nobody’s watching; we may even blush; but in spite of the foreignness of the activity – we pray. Why?
Because the most intimate communion with God comes only with prayer! Ask people who’ve faced tragedy or trial, heartbreak or grief, failure or fear, loneliness or discrimination. Ask what happened in their souls when they finally fell on their knees and poured out their hearts to the Lord: “I can’t explain it, but I felt like God understood me. I felt a comfort and peace I’d never known before.”
And isn’t that what God promised? Listen: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds” (Philippians 4:6-7 NIV).
You won’t believe the changes that will occur in your life once you are convinced to the core of your being, that God is willing, that He is able, and that He has invited you to come before His throne to do business in prayer.
