The third of five
message on talking with God
Prayer works, but not always in just the way we hope. We don’t
always get what we want but we do get what God wants, which is best, though we
can’t always see that from our finite vantage point. When we point our prayers
up to him we await his reply understanding that he has the right to tell us no
or tell us to wait. He knows best and we trust him.
That same trust leads to one result that is guaranteed every time. What can we
be sure we’ll receive as the result of our prayers? Peace. God grants peace to
those who trust in him. In prayer, we place our worries right where they
belong, at the feet of God. We may not yet see the answer to our prayers, but
we trust God. Peace is the assurance that the situation and our very lives are
in God’s hands.
Prayer may not change the outcome of events every time in the way we want, but
even when it doesn’t, prayer changes us. This week’s key verses point this out:
prayer leads to peace.
Join us in worship as we devour Philippians 4:6,7. I look forward to seeing
you.
