You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds, O God our savior. You are the hope of everyone on earth, even those who sail on distant seas. You formed the mountains by your power and armed yourself with mighty strength. Psalm 65:5-6.
When we cry out to God in prayer, we are talking to the God of the universe who created the earth and all that is on it with His mighty deeds! He answers our prayers with "amazing wonders" and have designed prayer to be the agent by which to release His mighty power in our lives and for those in desperate need of His help! God is the "generator", prayer is our power cord to Him, we are the ones who receive the power we need from God through the power cord of prayer! As we began to realize God's awesome power working in our lives and in the lives of others, we will gain the faith we need to believe that God will "show up" in every situation we find ourselves in life. His power is available to help us in our many needs! We "can do everything with the help of Christ who gives (us) the strength (we) need" (Philippians 4:13). This is the most powerful God we can trust and lean on. This is the most powerful God that promised to never leave us nor forsake us! He is our Heavenly Father, Shepherd, and Friend.
OUR PRAYERS LAY THE TRACK DOWN ON WHICH GOD'S POWER CAN COME. LIKE A MIGHTY LOCOMOTIVE, HIS POWER IS IRRESISTIBLE, BUT IT CANNOT REACH US WITHOUT RAILS. Watchman Nee (1903-1972)
