COMMITTED TO PRAYERS.
You may wonder why you should remain committed in your prayers when you don’t get answers quickly. Below are four reasons to be committed to prayers as you trust God in spite of seeming delay.
“Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers” - Ephesians 6:18 NLT.
Commitment to prayer focuses your attention.
When you pray a prayer request repeatedly, it is not to remind God. He does not need to be reminded! It is to remind yourself that God is the source of your answer and all your needs. If every prayer you ever prayed were instantly answered, two things would happen. First, prayer would actually begin to hurt you because sometimes we pray for things that are not God’s will, or we make mistakes because we see with a limited perspective. Secondly, you would never really develop a deep relationship with God, because He would become like a vending machine. If every time you prayed you instantly got results, all you would think about is the blessing.
God wants you to think about the Blesser. Committed prayer clarifies your request.
A delayed answer gives you time to clarify exactly what you want. It helps you refine your prayers. When you pray persistently to your heavenly Father and you say something repeatedly.
It separates deep longings from mere whims. It says, “God, I really care about this.”It’s not that God does not want to answer your prayers.
He does. It’s just that He wants you to be certain about what you really want. My special thanks goes to my brother in the lord @wilx and all members of @christian-trail!! God bless you all.
When you pray, focus on the Blesser not just the blessing and endeavour to clarify your request.
Knowing who you're is key in Christianity and knowing who you are is by studying the Bible. If you've found this post to be useful in any way, kindly show your support by upvoting, commenting, and redeeming. You may also wish to follow me @giftedwords and be alerted when I post new content.
