PROBLEM WITH PRAYER?

"And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness, freedom of speech to tell Him our needs)..that we ask anything according to HIS WILL (in agreement with His own plan) He listen to and hear us". 1John 5:14 AMPV. My friend, as you notice "the name it and claim it" prayer theology is not what John is talking here. First, we need to understand that the purpose of prayer is NOT for God to please us, but for God to CHANGE us. If a father gives into a little child's whiny demands, we know that he is a lousy parent, right? Our God is wise and powerful enough to answer rightly- and on right time. I have a news for you- God won't jump at every loose-lipped confession of yours. Please understand that the PROCESS of prayer is not as important as the ATTITUDE of prayer. Our prayers are a simple act of faith by which we are tuning over our worries to God's care. Buddy, don't worry about not saying the right words or haven't prayed hard enough or often enough or haven't believed deeply enough. When God doesn't answer our prayers according to our will, we get frustrated, and seems like our prayers are floating around the galaxies and it is too insignificant to catch the attention of GOD. My friend, it's time to finally accept the fact that THE PROBLEM WITH PRAYER IS NOT GOD, BUT US!!! You agree! Yeah! GOOOOOD!
