Scriptures: James 5:17-18 17Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. (NIV)
Nugget: We’ve all heard the saying, “You have not because you ask not.” This is so true in many areas of life, including our prayer lives. Elijah prayed & sought God for what he was seeking; in the process, Elijah received what he requested, according to God’s will.
How many things are we expecting & seeking from God, but it has not been given because of an unrequested prayer? It’s not that your prayer has gone unanswered, but have you even requested these things? I say, try God & see what happens. All things happen according to His will, it all begins by seeking Him, believing, & asking.
Quote: “The main lesson about prayer is just this: Do it! Do it! Do it! You want to be taught to pray. My answer is pray and never faint, and then you shall never fail…” -John Laidlaw
