What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list morning by morning it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately.

I want to tell you a growing conviction with me and that is that as we obey the leadings of the Spirit of God we enable God to answer the prayers of other people. I mean that our lives my life is the answer to someones prayer prayed perhaps centuries ago.It is more and more impossible to me to have programmes and plans because God alone has the plan and our plans are only apt to hinder Him and make it necessary for Him to break them up. I have the unspeakable knowledge that my life is the answer to prayers and that God is blessing me and making me a blessing entirely of His sovereign grace and nothing to do with my merits saving as I am bold enough to trust His leading and not the dictates of my own wisdom and common sense.

We tend to use prayer as a last resort but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when theres nothing else we can do but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.Most of us would prefer however to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We dont want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of good time is seldom in sync with ours.
