Prayer is always the solution. No matter what kind of difficulty may be facing you, no matter how complicated your problem may seem – prayer can solve it. Of course you will also take whatever practical steps seem to be indicated, and if you do not know what steps to take, prayer will show you. Prayer is constantly bringing about the seemingly impossible, and there is no conceivable problem that has not at some time been solved by prayer.
When we remember that God really is omnipotent, untrammeled by what we call time or space or matter, or the vagaries of human nature, it is easy to see that there can be no limit to the power of prayer. You can pray about a problem and solve it at any stage, but of course, the earlier you tackle it the easier will your work be.
… The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16).
The bigger the problem we face, the greater the power of prayer to resolve it. Many of us are facing challenges that seem insurmountable, impossible to cope with, much less resolve. Yet the truth is that God can and will give us what we need to turn these challenges into blessings. How, we may ask, can such pain, anguish, fear and trepidation be turned into a blessing? The answer is through fervent prayer. When we turn to the all powerful God for our answers, for our direction and for our deliverance, we accept our inability and limitations.
When we pray with faith, we reaffirm God’s dominion in our lives and remove our selves as obstacles to the solution, thereby opening the pathway for God’s power and grace in our lives. It is when we submit our fate fully to God, seek and follow God’s will instead of our own that we see, experience and benefit fully from God’s miraculous power. It is then that our problems become blessings, and we can live in our gardens comforted and at peace that God is resolving our challenges for our best good. And when through prayer, we receive God’s guidance and we do the work of following God’s will, our efforts will bear fruits in our garden that we could have never grown, yea even imagined on our own.
Swapping fear for fruit through prayer,
