A Time to Stop Waiting In Prayer

February 10, 2017

Israel’s victory at Jericho is one of the most famous stories in the Bible. But many people don’t know that what followed was an embarrassing defeat, which left Israel’s leader, Joshua, confused and on his face before God. Using this rich story, learn how believers can discern the time to pray and the time to act. Prayer is essential, but it was never meant to replace action.

The Bible tells us that when we pray to God “if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14). For many Christians who feel in the dark about God’s will, those words send them into doubt and insecurity. We don’t have to wring our hands and wonder what the Lord is up to. God promises to show us how to pray His will for every situation we face. All we have to do is wait and trust Him.

Ever felt like your prayers were falling flat, never actually reaching God? If God is the good Father who knows how to give good gifts to His children (see Matt. 7:11), then why does it feel like He isn’t even listening sometimes? While we won’t ever see the full picture this side of heaven, we can trust that God always hears His children and is faithfully conforming us to the image of His Son.

Throughout the centuries, God spoke through many faithful prophets about the coming of Messiah. After Jesus' resurrection, the Holy Spirit worked in the hearts of men who wrote about the wonderful news of salvation in Christ. Learn the differences between how the Father spoke through the prophets of the past and how He ministers through His Holy Spirit and His Word today.

In no uncertain terms does the Bible tell us to pray. And it’s with this same certainty that it tells us those prayers will be answered. The basis of all answered prayer is that God is a good Father who loves His children— not a reward we can earn, but the fruit of a relationship we were created to enjoy.

An inner sense of heaviness settles on your shoulders. It’s not despair or depression. It’s not fear. Somehow, whatever this is pulls at your heart and draws you to your knees. It’s a prayer burden from the Lord. Learn what a prayer burden is and what to do with it. God wants us to co-labor with Him to see this world transformed. And we do that by praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

As Christians we have many weapons in our arsenal for spiritual warfare: the blood of Jesus, our testimonies, God’s Word. But there’s one more weapon that is often overlooked and underused: fasting. Learn the principles of fasting as well as the purposes of it. Though it requires discipline and sacrifice, fasting is an indispensable tool for focusing our attention on God and attuning our spirits to His will.

Have you ever found yourself in a dark place in desperate need of answers? The prophet Jeremiah would understand. It was when he was in prison, while his city was under siege, that God said to him: “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know” (33:3). God is just as poised to answer our prayers as He was Jeremiah’s.

As discouraging as trials can be, no amount of complaining or self-pity can ever bring about a solution. Trials and challenges are no time for frustration, but rather a time to shine for Christ. Adversity is a tool the Master uses to shape us. It will not only help you survive your difficulties, but also find victory in them.
