THE VALUE OF A PRAYER The value of 90-second prayers: Short prayers are effective. Even 90-second prayers matter and can connect our heart with God and release the answer to us. Do not put off praying until you have an hour to pray. Even while rushing to an appointment, waiting at a red light, or standing in line at a store, we can offer 90-second prayers that will make a difference in our life and the lives of others. The value of “unanointed” prayers: Some assume that if they do not feel anything when praying, then God does not feel anything either. They conclude that such prayers are ineffective. The good news is that though we offer our prayers in weakness, they ascend to God in power because of the sufficiency of the blood of Jesus and because they are in agreement with God’s heart. Joy, or enjoying God, comes by believing in the Word. We can get to heaven without learning to walk in mature faith, but we will not enjoy our relationship with Jesus in fullness, as He intended. Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:13) We grow in faith by learning who we are in Christ and what is available to us in Christ. The most common lies of the enemy are that we are guilty and disqualified, that our small efforts do not make a difference, and that our difficult circumstances will not turn out for our good. We must confess ( and that is while praying) the word over our heart and circumstances and against the works of the enemy. Our thoughts, words, and emotions are deeply interconnected. What we think and say greatly affects our emotional condition. We do not have to bow to emotions that dictate the lives of so many. Our emotion will catch up our belief and faith later :o)
