The ONE THING for July 5, 2012: A Call for Men (and Women) to Pray – 18/28 Days of Developing a Prayer Life

The fact that the following quotation is one of my favorites is, I suppose, a sign of a twisted mind…

  • “I fully realize that I have not succeeded in answering all your questions. Indeed, I feel I have not answered any of them completely.  The answers I have found only serve to raise a whole new set of questions, which only lead to more questions, some of which we weren’t ever aware were problems.  To sum it all up: In some ways I feel we are as confused as ever, but I do believe we are confused on a higher level, and about more important things.” _Steve Brown, Follow the Wind, p. 110

Have you ever had a conversation like that?

I’ve had conversations like that with God!  There have been times (days) that I have struggled in my prayer time with God.  We go through seasons when nothing makes sense.  What is a man to do?  Answer: Keep praying.

Centuries ago when Solomon dedicated the Temple he asked of God to hear from Heaven when the people just looked toward the Temple.

Brothers, today you may feel a thousand miles away from God: confused, confounded and capsized – drowning in a sea of doubt.  What to do?  Keep praying; just the effort of looking toward God is enough.  He’s listening and He will answer.  Trust Him.
