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 key words above are righteous and fervent. Righteous does not mean perfect; it means being a believer who, through faith is striving for righteousness. And, as we discussed yesterday, fervent means charged with feeling; coming from the heart. When we pray in this way, our prayers will be answered even if the answer is no. And when the answer is no, be on the lookout for God’s alternative to your request. It will be coming down the road. And as my Daddy used to say, “If the bible says a train is coming down a dirt road…you better jump in the ditch because it is coming.”
