Thank God that He only holds us accountable for what we know. He is gracious as He leads us and teaches us. I really believe based on my own experiences with Him that as long as we’re searching for Him that He reveals more understanding of Him and His ways to us.

Today I’m reading about prayer and the many ways we can do this so that God hears and answers our prayers. As I reflect back on years I’ve spent in my prayer closet with the Lord I can see this. I’ve kept prayer journals full of requests and God has never turned me away. I would keep lists and keep going back to God every morning about these things until I saw answers or situations change.

Here I am all these years later trying to enter into a new kind of intercession for me. I have been pressing in but I need to be more consistent about this type of praying. And doing it with faith that God is hearing me.

  “Likewise the Spirit also helped our infirmities: for we know what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” (Romans 8:26)

Now I have been praying the Word of God for years and seen breakthrough in many different areas in my life and also those I have interceded for. It wasn’t even until years later that I understood just what I was doing. I did it all in faith and have seen God do the impossible by praying His Word; taking time to spend with Him in this (Eph 1:17-19, Eph 3:14-19, Col 1:9-14).

I want to challenge you to start your day with God. Put your phone down and just spend time with God in prayer and the Bible.

     A quote I read today was: “Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but taking hold of God’s willingness”.
