“Call
to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you
do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV)
Prayer is not a one-way conversation
where you simply recite everything you want God to do for you. It is a two-way
fellowship and communication. You speak to God, and He speaks to you. Prayer
also includes listening. In fact, what God says to you in prayer is far more
important than what you say to Him. After all, God already knows what you’re going
to tell Him, but He has amazing things to reveal that you don’t know.
Prayer is a relationship, not a religious
activity. Through prayer, you adjust to God; God doesn’t adjust to you. He wants you to pray, but He doesn’t need you to. You, however, need to pray
because of what God wants to do in your life during your prayer time.
When the Holy Spirit reveals a truth to
you in prayer, He is present and actively working in your life. This kind of
prayer is a divine encounter.
