The privilege of prayer!
Ever have difficulty believing that God hears your prayers?
The Bible teaches us that God does listen, and He wants us to pray.
Praying to the Almighty God is a wonderful privilege.
But it came at a price.
Romans 5:1 says:
"...having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our
Lord Jesus Christ."
God has granted us the privilege of prayer through the sacrifice of Christ
on the cross.
It is only by the blood of Jesus Christ that I'm able to draw near the
Father.
It is only the blood of Jesus Christ that enables me to actually talk to
God freely and expect Him to respond to me freely.
All that came through the Lord Jesus Christ.
When you pray, are you conscious that it is a precious privilege that has
been lovingly and generously given to you?
Does it strike a chord of thanksgiving in your heart to realize that you
can have an intimate prayer life with God?
We can have a relationship with God.
We don't have to wonder whether God is listening to us.
We don't have to wonder whether He's going to respond to us because we
have access to the Father.
God says, "'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty
things, which you do not know'." Jeremiah 33:3.
Take time now to pray thanking God-
- for Jesus,
- for His death and for His life and
- for the incredible privilege of instantly being able to pray to your
Heavenly Father.
