“No Bounds”

 Daniel 9:18, 19

O my God, listen to me and hear my request…We do not ask because

we deserve help, but because you are so merciful…O Lord, hear.  O

Lord, forgive.  O Lord, listen and act!  O my God, do not delay… (NLT)

     As Christians, our prayer life is an intricate part of building an everlasting relationship with God.  It pleases the Lord when we earnestly pray to Him, it means that we believe in His sovereignty.  The Lord God is our Creator and whether we choose to admit it or not, our lives depend on Him.  Without God's Sovereign Word the universe would be nothing but a mass of disorder and chaos where nothing tangible could ever exist.  I believe the reason many people pray to God as a last resort is because deep within they know He is their only Hope.  Our God is who He says He is.  He is the Creator and can do all things.  Nothing is impossible for God.  He is in charge of everything and there is nothing in either the physical or spiritual relm that is beyond His sovereign control. 

     When we humbly surrender our sin-filled lives in faith-filled prayer, we are telling the Lord that we are relying on His sovereignty, His wisdom, His unconditional love and compassion, His abundant mercy and abounding grace, His overwhelming goodness and His all-consuming power.  He creates everything we need to survive both physically and spiritually in this world, so we can experience the new world to come.  The Lord knows that our lives depend on Him and when we come to Him in prayer, whether it is in desperation or thanksgiving, we can be sure that He hears our every word.  Don’t shut God out of your life, my friend, for He is the only One you can fully trust and the only One who can give you exactly what you need.    Our God's power and wisdom are boundless.

                                                         A Whisper of Hope

Pray in faith, dear one... for I hear all that you think and say.  And when you pray in faith, you can trust that I will answer in a way that is best for you.  When your faith is centered on Me, you have a future that exceeds anything you can possibly imagine, because in Me everything is possible!

Luke 11:11-13

You fathers, if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 

Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion?  Of course not!  If you

sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will

your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.  (NLT)

            

                 And all things, whatever you ask in prayer, 

                    believing, you will receive.

                             (Matthew 21:22)
