Another reason our prayers are not answered, or we do not receive what we seek from God is because we do not do enough of what it takes to receive them. The Bible says, “If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie” (Ecclesiastes 11:3).
Today, we will meditate on the second reason why some of our prayers do not get answered. The second way ignorance robs us of our breakthroughs is by not knowing the appropriate thing to do to get what we want. We have often heard that God operates by principles. And, truly, the Bible is replete with passages that hinge the attainment of certain blessing on the fulfillment of one condition or another.
For the next few days, we will be looking at reasons some of our prayers are not answered and services to God are not rewarded: There are many times we might have fervently asked, sought, and knocked at the door of God or man for one thing or the other without being granted. For the next few days, we will be looking at reasons some of our prayers and services to God are neither answered nor rewarded:
“The more you pray, the less you’ll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You’ll feel more patient and less pressured.” – Rick Warren
I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.” – Martin Luther
There is one secret to possessing the power to influence people, circumstances and events; it is the power of prayer. Prayer is a communication from humans to God. It is the greatest source of power available to man when processed in the name of Jesus.
