When we understand the times we live in, it should cause us to pray. Remember that the armor mentioned in Ephesians 6 – must be used in the battle, if not for the battle what good is it?
The battle is prayer. If I have a battle coming, who would I want to go with me? The one whose armor is shiny with no dents, or the one who has armor is beat up with dents and with blood on his sword? Prayer is a mighty movement of my soul towards God. It is a stirring of my deepest forces toward Him. When I wrestle in prayer, I will come into His will. Then He will either bless me or give me the strength to do what He has asked me to do. Either way He will be with me; to hold on to, press on with, and even wait for – wait for Him to act first.
Restless desire, restful patience and strength are all embraced in prayer. Prayer is not an incident, or a performance, but a passion of my soul. Prayer is not a want, but a sheer necessity. If we are men and women of prayer, there is no limit to what He can accomplish through us.
If you pray you will not lose heart. So keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for by faith. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you? The key that will unlock the door is to “KEEP ON!”
