I guess now is the time to warn you about the bad news about prayer. But, the good news is that you know you’re doing it right, and are doing the right thing regarding prayer, when this warning comes to pass as more than a warning—and becomes reality.
So, what is the warning?
Your prayers and faith will most definitely be tested. Without fail. Undoubtedly.
The more you read this blog, and the more you apply it to your life, and the more serious you get about this thing called prayer, the more tested you will be at times. It’s those times which give you ample opportunity to put into practice what you’ve learned.
I hope you know that I am being very serious about that.
You can choose to focus on those challenges as something awful and challenging. Or, you can look at it as an opportunity to practice—prayer. The choice is up to you.
Look at my last blog that I wrote today—the one before this one. If you already have, look at it again and prayer journal about it again. Pray about these prayer opportunities now so you can overcome later. Make your life easier. Make it where you become more faithful and more dependent on God, His Word, and prayer between now and during that time of challenge—rather than have be the chance to fall apart. Prayer can change this. Use it now. It’s a weapon and a tool to help you be proactive and keep you from being reactive during those times.
Re-read this blog post during your times of challenge. I know I will.
Prayer journal your thoughts and about your action plan about how you’re going to deal with your hard times, your life of seasons, now—rather than later.
