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. (Ole Hallesby)

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. (Martin Luther)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD. (LUKE 1:37)

Whatever God can do, faith can do, and whatever faith can
do, prayer can do when it is offered in faith.
An invitation to prayer is, therefore, an invitation to omnipotence, for prayer engages the Omnipotent God and
brings Him into our human affairs. Nothing is impossible
to the Christian who prays in faith, just as nothing is
impossible with God. This generation has yet to prove all
that prayer can do for believing men and women.
(A.W. Tozer)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Is there a better reason for prayer than that it "engages the Omnipotent God and brings Him into our human affairs"?
When we pray, God is truly on our side. May ours be the
generation that proves what prayer can do.
Today, boldly invite God into your affairs. And He will come boldly.

Prayer is the releasing the energies of God. For prayer is
asking God to do what we cannot do. (Charles Trumbull)
