Three Principles that can transform your old notions about Prayer into something Fresh and New

Reading Jeremiah 33:1-3 reminds us of another promise God has made to us

1st

God says " Call to Me". He wants to hear from you. His all loving omnipotent heart desires to hear your most innermost thoughts and feelings. He wants to hear from you in the hard times and when life going smoothly. Your sweetest times of prayer happen when you come before Him simply to praise and worship and give thanks for what he has done.

2nd

God says "I will answer you". Do you believe that?? You would have to. Maybe you asked God once for something He did not give you, and since then, you have harbored secret worries that he did not hear, or did not care to answer. But God himself says to you "I will answer you" That answer may not take the form you anticipate or come when you desire but he will respond. He might say "yes" , "no" , or "wait". You may not understand the reasons behind his answer but you can trust that they are best for you.

3rd

God says "I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" You have finite wisdom and understanding; God knows all he knows the big picture; you see merely a tiny piece. When you ask him to guide you, he works to direct you as a part of His higher vision and calling.

*** If you take the first step of calling out to Him, prayer can become an important part of a dynamic relationship with almighty God. Do it Today. He wants to hear from you
