That’s When We Pray

How many times have we gone before God to say that effectual fervent prayer and have failed? Tiredness and sleep have gotten the best of us or we just can’t focus. Even when we push, instead of a roar, out comes a whimper!

We drag ourselves along for months until hurricane season. We are threatened with a direct hit and that’s when we pray. It sounds like we are about to loose our roof, and that’s when we pray.

A child who is doing exams is freaking out under the stress, that’s when we pray. We are about to loose a husband or a wife to cancer, that’s when we pray.

Praying to and trusting God through the most difficult times of our lives is never easy, but the more we do it, the easier it becomes and the more at peace we are in the storm.

The very things we reject, God will put us through them and we will have to surrender and trust Him! Would any of us like to drive our vehicle without insurance coverage for months, or having to drive our vehicle for months with the gas mostly below empty, knowing that it could run out of fuel, but trusting God that it will not. And each time fuel is added, the gauge goes up to empty or a little above empty. That’s when we would pray a lot.

Without God stretching us to the limit, we will never know what is possible. Scared? Don’t be, He will never leave us or forsake us. Jesus!… Jesus!… Jesus!.. We love you Lord. Amen.
