In your prayer life, you will experience seasons. Some of those times make no sense to us, but God has a purpose in it. Take a listen to what I’ve experienced when it comes to hearing the voice of God.
This isn’t true 100% of the time. But it is supremely valuable to check our hearts for the slow growth of spiritual apathy. Do we want that in our lives? Of course not! We are called to fight alongside the Lord. And if we are to fight together, we had better know what He’s telling us about the battle plan! Then let’s pray the battle plan, not wish-washy prayers.
Is it really important that I run to the Lord in prayer all the time? Does the Lord look for us to grow up and be a little less dependent? Maybe I should just figure things out on my own!
It seems to me that there will always be something out of my reach. But sometimes my attitude implies I think I have to persuade God to come through! Recently He told me, “Ami, this is not a tug of war! We’re on the same side!”
