Prayer is the key

There are many Christians who are ignorant with regard to God's boundless grace. Our need or poverty blinds us to the One who could supply our need if we would only trust Him.

Time and again, Scripture reiterates that God is more willing to give then we are to receive.  We are constantly reminded that if we pray and believe, we will receive that which we pray for. Prayer is the key which unlocks the treasure chambers of God. Many of us believe this but few actually use the key and enjoy the abundance of God's grace.

We are aware that God can give anything that we ask but many of us also see our self-erected barriers which obstruct His answers. When we bring a petition before God, do not start thinking how impossible it is that God will answer our prayer because there are so many obstacles in the way. Such an attitude births doubt and prayers cannot be answered where faith has been substituted by doubt.

How God is going to answer our prayers is neither our responsibility or concern. A simple child-like faith which looks to God and believes unconditionally that He does answer prayer is the kind of prayer that God wants to answer with joy. Our prayer life is also part of God's unfathomable grace and if we use it in faith, God will give us far beyond what we could think or pray for.
