Nothing is Insignifiant In God's Eyes

There is a middle ground between intercession as a life work and no praying at all. As we all know praying begins with a personal relationship with our Lord and not our performance. When God calls us to prayer it is an invitation to His power as we succeed in His eyes. He is in charge of the results of our praying, as He has promised to hear and answer our prayer. Although our prayers may seem insignificant in our eyes, there is nothing insignificant in God’s eyes. Beginning to nurture some praying in our life can become the launching pad for more prayer later.

“God doesn’t command us to pray like a drill sergeant, stand back to see if we will obey or come by only to inspect how well we are doing. His invitation welcomes us into the privilege of talking to Him. He gives us the power of the Holy Spirit within us to guide us for a fruitful prayer life”.

“Prayer is designed to demonstrate the riches of God’s grace and the poverty of our own resources.”

God encourages us to pray with these words, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) Prayer and our times of need go hand in hand. Prayer helps us to admit that we are spiritually important. “We are dependent on God. We can either accept it by faith or learn the hard way through the difficulties of life.” “Pray without ceasing”.

Jesus walked on this earth as both God and man. He lived as man in dependence on His Farther, God Almighty, giving us an example of how we are to live. If Jesus with all of His power and perfection made prayer a priority in His life, then we ought to enter it into our life as well.

“God gives us life, breath, and all things” (Act 17:25)

George Mueller – Poem in response to God’s faithfulness

I believe God answers prayer,
Answers always, everywhere;
I may cast my anxious care,
Burdens I could never bear,
On the God who hearth prayer.

Never need my soul despair,
Since He bid me boldly dare.
To the secret place repair,
There to prove He answers prayer.
