In the four verses of our text, we can learn important truths about prayer directly from our Lord Jesus Christ:
Prayer is not a question of “if you pray,” but “when you pray”. Every believer that will be successful needs to pray. You must believe in the efficacy of prayers. Many people pray with the mind that, “If l pray hard enough, I will change the mind of God. If I pester God enough, I will change the mind of God.” No, you can't change the mind of God! The Bible says God is not a man that He should repent (Num. 23:19b). To repent means to change your mind. God does not change His mind.
Many believers pray with that wrong mentality because they don't know the mind of God before they start praying. One of the keys to effective and successful prayer is to first of all find out what is the mind of God on an issue before you start praying. Praying against the will of God is a fruitless exercise; His will is perfect. He doesn't need improvement and does not need to change His mind on whatsoever matter.
Jesus said, “And when you pray...” You need to know when you should pray and how to pray. That's important! Most people pray, but their prayers are not answered and my focus is to bring you to a place of prayer power that not only will you become a prayer warrior, but you can do your own praying and get answers for yourself and be a blessing to other people.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your word that reveals Your mind to me. I cooperate with Your mind and counsel in all that concerns me in Jesus’ name. Amen!
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Numbers 14:1-15:16, Mark 14:53-72, Psalm 53:1-6, Proverbs 11:4
