FAITH CAPSULE: What God cannot do is to fail.

Psalm 47

In seeking God, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding shall provoke the hand of God to experience the goodness of God.
What one does to seek God with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding shall be back with power to gain the presence of God.
Psalm 47:7 states, “Praise God with understanding.”
As the word of God asks for understanding in praising God, so there is a need for understanding in every way of seeking God.
In praying before God, there is a need for understanding.
In life, the level of understanding one possesses shall determine how far one goes with God.
Growing in understanding of God is a way to grow, knowing God.
Prayer demands understanding.
Pray with understanding, not to pray amiss.James 4:3 admonishes all, “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”
Prayer is seeking God diligently to find God.
Prayer time is not a parade time to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness. 
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness. 
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that God will not ignore prayer before Him.
Luke 22:44 identifies the labor prayer of Jesus, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”  
Prayer should be a continual engagement.
With prayer, God answers yes or no and waits.
Apostle Paul testifies about prayer.
Acts 6:4 records, “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”
Repeatedly, Jesus requests praying and watching.
From the Old Testament to the New Testament, watching and praying repeatedly emphasize our learning as the Bible said in Romans 15:4, “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.”
For example:
1. Nehemiah 4:9 records, “Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them, we set a watch against them day and night.”
2. Matthew 26:41 states, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
3. Mark 13:33 states, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”
4. Luke 21:6, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
5. Ephesians 6:8, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—”
6. 1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
At every ground of praying is to seek God prayerfully and be backed with expectation for manifestation.
One thing God cannot do He cannot fail.

Prayer for today: Ask God to give heed to your prayer.
