Jesus instructs us in His sermon on
the mount, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7) I often teach that we should not
only pray without ceasing, but also that we need to pray about everything. No
request is too petty for our God.
God
in his infinite knowledge is currently keeping up with 6,000,000,000 +
individuals in this world. With His infinite knowledge and His infinite power, I
am convinced He is able to keep up with the prayers, great and small, of all
these people, and to respond to their prayers.
I
have taught that we need to pray in the least of matters. Car keys lost? Tell
God about it and that you need some help finding them. Stymied on a project?
Talk to Him about it and your need for some insight or inspiration. I have
found that it is not coincidental that I soon have the location of the lost
object or the inspiration sought. So I make a habit of praying about everything
going on in my life, no matter how insignificant.
I
was pleased recently when someone shared that they, in response to my
preaching, had begun to do the same, and that they have been amazed at how
often God answers these prayers, sometimes almost immediately. So I urge you
once again, pray about everything, great and small. God hears and helps.
Grace and
Peace
