“Prayer is a Priviledge”
Categories: Shepherd's CornerAsk, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24) What a privilege is ours, the privilege of prayer!
Just think, we have the incredible privilege of approaching the God of the Universe, the “Most High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy!” (Isa. 57:15) We can only do this because Jesus Christ has opened the way.
We pray in times of adversity, lest we become faithless and unbelieving. We pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. We pray in times of danger, lest we become fearful and weak. We pray in times of security, lest we become self-sufficient.
Pray, believing in the promise of God’s Word that “if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (1 John 5:14) The Lord gave us this invitation in the book of Jeremiah: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." (Jeremiah 33:3) Prayer is a privilege given to the child of God. So pray with fervor, pray with energy, pray continually. Don't ever give up praying, because you never know what God will do for you!
