WE PRAY BECAUSE OF THE COMMAND OF GOD
Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians. 5:17)
Even if we don’t feel any immediate results while praying we must continue to pray because our prayers are going up into the heavenly realms. They are released in the atmosphere and will come up for a memorial before God as with Cornelius in Acts 10:4. They are kept in store for God to act upon at whatever time He sees them as necessary. He may answer them today, next week, next month, or next year, but wait on Him because through our waiting, our souls are blessed. Sometimes we look for a microwave (quick) fix, and it doesn’t materialize. We must keep on waiting because in our waiting, He Stabilizes us (holds us steady, firm, and steadfast), that we may be able to endure when our trials and test come.
He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet: and setteth me upon high places. (2 Sam. 22:34)
He positions our feet like hinds’ feet so we can dig in and climb any mountain that’s in our way. In other words, He makes us as surefooted as a deer, enabling us to stand secure. When the problems of this life seem overwhelming, God uses extraordinary means to help overcome strongholds. He Strengthens us, giving us the power, the drive, and the anointing to accomplish the task that is ahead of us.
He Settles us or gives us an anchor we can hold on to. As the storms in this life are raging, we grip onto the solid Rock of Jesus. When we give our problems to God. He will move on our behalf, sometimes when we least expect Him to. God wants us to give every problem to Him, and leave them with Him. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Not only does He just care for us at the moment, but He cares for us always and in every aspect of our lives.
Lord Continue To Bless Us As We Pray
