I will do anything you ask the Father in my name so that the Father will be given glory because of the Son.
John 14:13
Y ou don’t need prayer in order to live, but you do need prayer in order for Christ to live in you. If you don’t eat food, you starve your body, and if you don’t pray, you starve your spirit. Prayer isn’t about asking so that you can get things for yourself but so that you can know God more.
You have to give Jesus a chance to do what he said he’d do: answer your prayers. But if you aren’t praying, then how’s he gonna do what he promised? You are a part of the deal. But think about what you ask for. Do you ask for more wisdom or more popularity? Do you ask for more faith or more things? God will give you what you ask for when what you ask for is what you need. And what the God Girl needs is more of the life of Christ in her. When you let that happen by praying, you’re gonna find yourself with exactly what you want. When your will lines up with God’s, the sky’s the limit. That’s why it is so important to study God’s Word and to understand it for yourself. As you study and pray consistently, your life will become a vehicle for the power of the living God. If you feel weak and ineffective, then it’s time to pray.
If you want more of God and his wisdom, then get to praying. Don’t let your sin be a sin of prayerlessness, but be devoted to looking for the only one who can save you from everything that would hurt you.
