Several years ago, there were some residents of a drought-stricken community in West Texas, who decided to pray for rain. They contacted a local preacher, and asked him if he would call a special prayer meeting for the purpose of praying for rain.<\/p>\n
The preacher gladly agreed, and the date and time were set for the meeting. On the scheduled day, the people all assembled on a hillside to pray to God for rain. When the preacher arrived, he gazed upon the assembly for a moment and said, Lets all go home. Theres no sense in praying for rain today, because not a one of you folks brought your umbrella!<\/p>\n
Sometimes, by our words and actions (or inactions), do we not end up telling folks that we really dont expect an answer from God?<\/p>\n
Brethren and friends, if we ever doubt<\/strong> whether or not God will answer our prayers, then our praying becomes utterly futile<\/strong> (James 1:5-8-NKJV).<\/p>\n When we pray according to the Fathers will (1 John 5:14-15-NKJV), we need to firmly believe and expect<\/strong> that He will provide exactly<\/strong> what we are praying for (Mark 11:20-24-NKJV; cf. Matthew 7:7-NKJV; Luke 11:1-10-NKJV; John 14:13-NKJV; John 15:7-NKJV; John 16:24-NKJV), otherwise, we might as well all go home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Several years ago, there were some residents of a drought-stricken community in West Texas, who decided to pray for rain.
