04/25/20 MORE PRAYER ISSUES: There are roughly 300 prayers in the Bible. No more than a dozen mention sickness; that’s ~4%. So why is it that at least 90% of prayer needs I hear expressed are about sickness, surgeries and doctor appointments. Looking at the prayers in the Bible, anyone can see that Almighty God and godly persons want to discuss many other issues with Him.
          Two suggestions: (1) Let’s intentionally pray about those other concerns—our personal holiness, salvation for folks in our families and circles of influence, the effectiveness of our churches, the realization of God’s kingdom, etc. and (2) Let’s learn to devote time to LISTENING to GodHe has always been a “communicating” God; He still is! [ Amos 3:7 (CSB) Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing His counsel to His servants the prophets. ]
