MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. 1 Samuel 12:23 If I feel disinclined to pray, then is the time when I need to pray more than ever. Possible when the soul leaps and exults in communion with God it might more safely refrain from prayer than at those seasons when it drags heavily in devotion. ((Charles Haddon Spurgeon) PRAY ABOUT IT: We all face days when we just don't feel like praying. We even reason, if I have to do it legalistically, then it profits me nothing. Surely God doesn't want me to pray when my heart's not in it. That's true, but what usually happens is that if we once make the effort to simply begin to pray, we find that something within us loosens up and we continue on. If you don't feel like praying, there's probably an urgent, unknown to you reason why you should be praying. Just start. Don't worry about anything else. Just start. Deliver me, O Lord, from a slothful mind, from all luke- warmness, and all dejection of spirit. I know these only serve to deaden my love for You. Mercifully free my heart from them and give me a lively, zealous, active, and cheerful spirit, so that I can vigorously do all that you've assigned to me. (John Wesley) | ||||||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground. 1 Samuel 3:19 Prayer is no magic transformation of words into heavenly language just because we close our eyes. Words are not prayer because we utter them on our knees, nor because we say them in the pulpit, nor because they are breathed within the confines of a church. . . . We can use words without prayer, and we can pray without using words. We can also pray when words are used. But there is a language of the Spirit beyond words --- groanings that defy language, that are above language, that are the yearnings of the heart of God committed to those who seek to know His will and to care for a lost world and feeble Church. (Leonard Ravenhill) PRAY ABOUT IT: Never pray words that "fall to the ground" before reaching God's ears. If necessary, let your heart speak, and your mouth remain shut. Be sensitive to God. You will know when words are the language of the spirit and when silence or the groanings of a heart are appropriate. Today, consider if silence might speak more loudly to God than words. Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated in words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips.

Tracy 1/31/2026 6:49:23 AM MST | MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are speaking, I will hear. Isaiah 65:14 There is no danger of the individual Christian being overlooked amidst the multitude of supplicants who daily and hourly present their various petitions, for an infinite Mind is as capable of paying the same attention to millions as if only one individual were seeking its attention. So too, the lack of appropriate language, the inability to give expression to the deepest longing of the soul, will not jeopardize our prayers, for "It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." (Arthur Pink) PRAY ABOUT IT: Don't put limitations on God. He can hear your prayers at the same time your brothers and sisters are at prayer all around the world. J.B. Phillips wrote what has become a classic book, entitled Your God Is Too Small, wherein he challenged the limitations that most people put on God. The One to whom we pray knows the past, the present, and the future, and nothing is allowed to happen without His knowledge and permission. Thus, we may have firm confidence in God. He is Sovereign. The prayers you will pray today, God will hear while you are yet speaking. And even more: before you call on Him, the answer is on its way! Your thoughts of God are too human.
