“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces great results.” James 5:16
When we go to the Lord in prayer it is important that our convictions for running to our God are in earnest. We must understand that our God in heaven, and He alone, can forgive us of our sins and help us through our many needs. We must truly be sorry for what sins we have committed and put ourselves on a course that will help us to live our lives in a manner that reflects the goodness of God. When we bow down and pray an earnest prayer, we are to believe that our prayer is answered. We are to understand that God is never late and is always on time. If we don’t see an immediate result from our prayers, we are to continue to believe that God has not forgotten us but is waiting for the right time to provide us our answers. When we do this, we are filling our tank with total confidence for belief in God and his love for us. We begin to understand that he is for us and not against us and that he loves us and does not show vengeance or take revenge against those who love him. Yes, he corrects us, and he disciplines us, but it is all done out of love and for our good. When we discipline our own children, we do it so they will be trained up to be better people and to respect others. We do it for their good. When we pray, we are to climb onto the shoulders of God and ride with him through our issues and problems. He is always there for us, but it is our responsibility to make the decision to take action and be a doer of his mighty promises. It is our responsibility to show God that we truly believe and are ready to receive! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
