Prayer shows? Sometimes when we pray and prayers go unanswered, could it be we're knocking on a door God isn't prepared to open? Scriptures tell us that when we pray we ought not to babble on, knocking on the door, with many words thinking that God would be impressed with our "prayer show."
Think about it. Praying much but asking little is like knocking on a door with no one to hear it. Wordy and lengthy prayers become nothing more than noise, useless to us and silent to God. He won’t hear babbling and isn't impressed with just so many words.
God’s Word tells us: “And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words” (Matthew 6:7-8).”
It is true that we can never pray too much. It is also true that we can pray without sincerity, believing that the words are magic, casting a prayer spell on God He can't resist. Are you knocking on a prayer door God is not there to open? Try brevity and repetition with sincerity; it might just be the door God is looking to open, if only you make the wise choice to find it.
“Heavenly Father. we praise you for the privilege of prayer. We praise you for the joy that is found in simply being with you. We’re in awe even right now at the fact that we’re talking to you and you are listening to us, that you, the God of the universe, right now are listening to us. In Jesus name, Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
