All in Faith and Prayer
Do we weep in our prayer closets and ask for a certain thing day, after day, after day? Does our heart break while in the midst of our supplication, and yet we still have faith in God to answer? Are our prayers lifted up yet again, and the tears run down our faces once more? Do those around us say “stop praying, it isn’t going to happen”, but we continue to cling to hope, and trust in God? This is what Jesus taught us to do. This is the true evidence of our faith.
Today let’s discuss the twins of prayer and faith. Pastor E.M. Bounds describes them this way: "one heart brings them both to life. Faith is always praying; prayer is always believing." He ends his devotional by writing by saying "Prayer asks; faith lays its hand on the thing asked for." Faith and prayer are the engines which power the Dynamo of our belief; our relationship with God. They create the spark that jumps the gap between man and God. For our part in this endeavor we must hold fast to our faith and exercise our prayer fervently.
