“Prayer was the greatest tool Jesus used to change the lives of others.”
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever thought about Jesus that way. He was, after all, God in the flesh. He could change lives with a thought, a word, or a touch. So why did He pray?
He prayed to stay in constant communication with His Father. He prayed to receive guidance and power to impact people He met. He prayed to accomplish more in less time than any person who ever lived.
What about you? Why do you pray? To receive a blessing you want or need, or to have God act on behalf of someone you know needs help? Is the reason we pray really the reason we should pray?
God certainly acts when we ask Him to, but our time in prayer is supposed to be so much more than a list of things we need – just like the Bible is so much more than some list of do’s and don’t’s we have to try and get right every day. Both are about a relationship with the Almighty God.
Try it today – pray without asking for a single thing. Just spend time with God, and see what He can do with your day when you put Him in the place He want to occupy in your life!
Love you all
