With prayer, we love to quote “ask anything…” (1 John 5:14), but many often neglect warnings about repentance (Psalm 66:18) and praying according to His will. God is a given, but prayer depends on “the person in prayer”.
To reach God, first repent
Prayer is about coming to God on His terms. How’s that working-out for you?
Keeping Sin
The little verse of Psalm 66:18 teaches us a whole lot about God – and prayer. Just in this tiny verse we see: “If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear.” I am born again, and God has forgiven me of all my sins. However, on any given day or moment, if I come to Him in prayer AND am holding a sin, so to speak, or allowing a sin to have a place in my life — then, the Bible tells me: God will not give heed to what I say.
