Prayer should be spontaneous but that does not mean it is not a good idea to think through the structure of what you have prayed.

When you prayed, first did you listen? Some people take the scripture that reads “Speak Lord, for thy servant heareth” and rewrite it to read, “Listen Lord, thy servant speaketh.” (1 Samuel 3:10)

Could what you prayed for be considered a Christian prayer? Remember …if you end your prayer with the words “In Jesus name” you certainly want to have prayed a prayer he would approve.

Was it a prayer you really wanted to be answered, something you really wanted to take place, an improvement in your person you were really committed to following through on. A half hearted prayer is a wasted opportunity.

Promise what you will do to help make the prayer come true. You have prayed for help with your business? Have you promised to work longer and harder? You have asked for better health? Are you committed to better a better diet and more exercise?

Pray your prayer and then be patient. You really don’t have to remind God about the prayer you just prayed two minutes ago. He heard you. He will answer your prayer in his own way in his own time. In short, don’t make your prayer an anxiety center.

QUOTE FROM from Tuesday November 23rds RUST ON MY SOUL (A Series)

“I was flattered. He remembered me and it’s been thirty years. I remember him. He was one of the few preachers who made sense to me. Yet in my college days even that never got me to church too often.

I reminisced how he used to call his sermons Trade Routes.

“Still do. You can’t get anywhere without a route,” he said.”
