ONE MINUTE DEVOTION: (When Prayer Disappoints) James 4: 3 You ask and you do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. You will find little argument from people about the importance of prayer. Most people pray. Everyone needs it. But the reality is, prayer is often disappointing. We dont get the results we desire. Let me share with you why: Its found in the Bible in the book of James. You ask and do not receive because you ask selfishly. Prayer is not so much about asking God for what we want. Its about finding out what He wants and finding strength the do it. Selfish prayers disappoints . Prayers to get to know God, to find strength and to do His will, bring tremendous results--sometimes even supernatural results. This kind of praying is powerful because you get plugged into the ultimate power source---the God of the universe. How is your prayer life? Fulfilling or disappointing ? Remember your motive, for your heart is the key. Why dont you take a moment right now and talk with God for the purpose of seeking HIS WILL. Youll be pleased with the results !! DEAR LORD, STRENGTHEN MY DESIRE TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH THE WONDERFUL PRIVILEDGE OF PRAYER. HELP ME SEEK YOUR WILL IN MY PRAYER LIFE AND NEVER BE FOUND GUILTY OF HAVING THE WRONG MINDSET WHEN I PRAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERED PRAYER IN OUR LIFE EACH AND EVERY DAY. AMEN. Hebrews 4: 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of heart. People see God every day, they just dont recognize him. (Pearl Bailey)
