PRAYER,
ACCESS IN

GOD is like 7-Eleven used to be. 7-Eleven used to be open 24/7. If you ran out of milk, you could run up to 7-Eleven. If you ran out of bread, you could go to 7-Eleven. The idea would be that when everyone else is closed, a convenience store would be open to meet your needs. When the normal suppliers had gone home to go to bed, you could always go to the convenience store. They were going to be open 24/7.

The reason why we’ve lost sight God as our provider is we’ve gotten too used to the Wal-Marts in our lives. We’ve gotten too used to the big chains. We’ve gotten too used to the big boys. But the goodness of God is that He is the convenient one. He’s there when everybody else shuts down. He’s open when everybody else has closed down or run out. He’s got more than enough and He’ll be available, whether you show up or not. He is your convenience center and He is there to meet your needs. We can go to Him in prayer at anytime.718
