Topic: Being "In Prayer"

Matthew 21:22 "If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." (NIV)

God may not give us unlimited power when we pray. There may be a reason for God's action of not giving what we want. The reason God may not give us unlimited power when we pray is probably because He knows such power will be abused when sin enters in. We never fully believe because sin enters in. When we receive what we pray for, we receive because we believe. We believe and receive because we lift up our voice calling upon God. We believe He hears us and we receive without sin entering into our plea and petition. When we believe and "in prayer" God will make us whole. He will give us everything we need if we are really "in prayer" as Jesus says we are to be. To be "in prayer" does not mean we take a list of stuff we want for ourselves to Him. What "in prayer" does mean is we can take a list of our heartaches, burdens, and pain to Him and He will listen and answer us. Being "in prayer" is not saying words. Being "in prayer" means we are talking directly with God in a state of our mind and heart where we submit our will to him…where we place our whole life in His hands. Being "in prayer" is a state in our heart, mind, and life where we bow down before Him, in reverence, in awe, in wonder, and most of all, in love for Him because He sent his Son to die for us.
