God's Wonderful Plan for Prayer

 


It’s easy to pray when God answers our prayers the way we want Him to.

I prayed for a spouse for a long time, and after a 3-year drought, I met a woman I really liked. But as I prayed, I sensed the Lord told me to wait. I didn’t understand, but within a few weeks, both of us literally moved in different directions with new jobs, new places to live on opposite sides of the world.

Praying became more difficult. Why would God say “wait” and then seem to say “no?”

Was God even answering this prayer?

Sometimes my prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling and God is silent. For example, I having been praying for friends and family to know Jesus for decades, but nothing seems to be happening.

Recently I was reminded, “God's Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). God directs my path. He lights my way. His ways are clear and purposeful. The devil’s ways are confusing and purposeless. When I am frustrated in my prayer life, I can be encouraged by how God answered prayer in the Bible. 

Whether you are headed into a work meeting that needs guidance and wisdom or are gathering as a small group or church, these opening prayers will set your focus on God's will. These simple and short prayers will help you invite the Holy Spirit into your heart and minds and bless your time together. 

Instead of back-building worry and anxiety as we attempt to forecast an unknown future, Paul begs us to “Pray about everything in every way you know how!” (Ephesians 6:18 VOICE). Stop to consider what the situations of our daily lives might look like if we paused to pray into them and about them more feverishly. Whether you are starting a business meeting, church service, or family event you can use these prayers to join together to ask God for guidance and blessing.

Prayer can change our situation. It can move the heart of God. And I believe sometimes prayer allows us to understand our situations, rather than affect the outcome. Our hearts change as we seek God’s wisdom and Truth.

Wedding/Marriage by Jewish Doorways

  Wedding / Marriage Inspiration “A soul mate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soul mate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soul mate is the one who makes life come to life.” From The Bridge Across Forever by Richard Bach. Prayer May you never take each other for granted but always experience the wonders of your union. May your love consist not only in gazing into each other’s eyes, but also in looking outward in the same direction. May your life together be a source of strength and ...
