Prayer Hindered?
Psalm 28, Matthew 6:5-15< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
God is a prayer answering God. The same God yesterday, today, and tomorrow is still answering prayers. What is wrong with your prayer? Is your prayer going through or getting stocked? Psalm 94:9, ÒHe who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye shall He not see?Ó God hears you before you ask and He also sees you before you move. Your asking is what needs attention. How and what you ask has to do with what you get in answer. Matthew 6:6, ÒBut when you pray, go into your room; and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.Ó Which of the above is your hindrance in prayer? Is it your location that identifies you before everyone as one that knows how to pray? Remember, it is not of determination it is of grace. Is it the choice of words to impress the listeners? Repetition is a reputable way to hinder your prayer. God is not a liar, GodÕs word is true and amen. Think of it, God does not lie and if He has said He will answer when you call, He will not fail to answer. Psalm 27:14, ÒWait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!Ó The time that you spend in prayer is waiting on the LORD; the time it takes to get answer is also waiting on the LORD. Waiting demands that you wait in faith. God will answer you this day in Jesus name.
