TO THE BIBLE
Isaiah 65:24 NLT
“I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!”

LET’S TALK
Isn’t it wonderful to know that God knows your heart? He knows your thoughts, your plans, your future…everything. Even before you pray, He knows what you need. The Lord Jesus said, “…your Father knows what you need before you ask Him” (Matthew 6:8 NIV). If that’s true, and it is true, why then do we pray? Someone might ask.

We pray because God established prayer as a means of fellowship between man and Himself. It’s a spiritual principle. Think about it like this: there are natural laws that operate in the earth. An example is gravity. We don’t float in the air because God created the law of gravity to keep us grounded. In the same way, He set up spiritual principles in the spirit; one of such principles is prayer.

The Lord Jesus said, “men should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1 NLV). Since He told us to pray, we’re not supposed to say, “Lord, since you know my mind, I’ll just stay quiet.” The principle is, “Ask and receive.” The Bible says, “…Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). It didn’t stop there; it says in the 10th verse, “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”

Look at the Old Testament; after all the amazing blessings God promised the children of Israel, He still said they had to pray. (Ezekiel 36:37). Thank God for the privilege and opportunity of prayer through which we cause the will of the Father to be established in our lives, in the lives of others, and in our world. Glory be to God!

GO DEEPER
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

PRAY
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege of prayer that allows me to partner with you in establishing your will in the earth. As I walk in the light of your Word, your glory is manifested in my life, and I rejoice in the assurance that my prayers are effective, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
