“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven…”
2 Chronicles 7:14
I thank God for prayer. I thank God so much for the freedom to tap into heaven in my tears, in my fears, in my uncertainty, in my confidence, in my joy, in my pain, in my confusion, and in my clarity. I thank God for the master key that is prayer.
I thank God so much for the freedom to tap into heaven in my tears, in my fears, in my uncertainty, in my confidence, in my joy, in my pain, in my confusion, and in my clarity.
I thank God for the master key that is prayer.
I have a job that demands more of my peace and prayer than I am naturally willing to give, often feeling almost incapable of giving since I am trying to keep it for myself.
This community of God’s people does not resemble the one in the chapter that preceded this one and that too has its misgivings.
The pages of this current chapter are nearing an end as I see the calling of my life on the horizon before me. Admittedly, the sentiments in my humanity are spilling over.
I feel the wars going on, the battle to take over my mind, to overwhelm my spirit, to distract me from purpose.
I feel the realm of warring raging around me, above me, and there is unsettlement in my soul. Things are being shaken out of place and into place and my knowing is all I have
I feel the wars going on, the battle to take over my mind, to overwhelm my spirit, to distract me from purpose.
I feel the realm of warring raging around me, above me, unsettlement is stirred within me. Things are being shaken out of place and into place and my knowing is all I have
So I pray.
In my disappointment, I pray. In my discomfort, I pray. In my disagreement, I pray.
The tears spill out of me even in a fasting season, and still I pray.
Friend, prayer is the master key.
Prayer is the heavenly language designed and delivered on the tip of our tongues to fight and win battles we cannot see, to release blessings from heavens’ gates, and to remind us of the power of God on the inside.
That is why the word of God tells us to worry about nothing and pray about everything.
I wonder if you, much like me, could use a day to just pray.
I wonder if you could use a day to call upon your Father and His angel armies to fortify the walls of your reality, to strengthen you from the core, and to claim the victory that is yours.
Friend, prayer is the master key. There is no door that prayer cannot open and no door that it cannot shut according to the will of God.
Prayer is our weaponry to win the battles even here on earth. So I urge you to start using it like never before.
I pray that God gives us the words to pray even when we do not know that which we ought to pray. I pray that the Holy Spirit moves us to our knees to bow down in faith and truth in prayer. May we be fortified when we feel too tired to pray. May our focus be realigned when we feel too distracted to pray. And may the windows of Heaven pour out a new anointing that drips humility into our being so we pray fervently as we ought to in Jesus name. Amen.
