IS PRAYER YOUR STEERING WHEEL OR YOUR SPARE TIRE?
By: Linda Kirby/WGON
“Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?” – Corrie ten Boom
There are those who say, “I don’t pray much.” However, they will quickly go to prayer when things become fearful for them. How nice it would be if we went to prayer every day just to stay in touch with Jesus. During that time, He straightens our path, heals our souls, brings us joy, and gives us peace. When you go to pray only when things get bad, you miss out on all that. When we pray, Jesus guides us, He lays it on our hearts and spirits what He wants of us. He frees us from fear, stress, and worry. Don’t miss out on all that. Matthew 21:22: “ And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” If you don’t pray, you can’t ask, if you don’t ask, you can’t receive and believing will ensure your prayer is answered. Mark 11:24: “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
