One-Minute Insights for Men - Jim George
Waiting for God’s Answers
When you think your prayers aren’t being answered, you tend to get discouraged and cry out, God, why aren’t You helping me?
Yet God has promised to answer your prayers: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you
(Matthew 7:7). However, sometimes you don’t see the answer for a while, or God may say no because He has a different—and better—plan.
So you are exhorted to ask. But your request must be…
• in faith (Matthew 21:22),
• without selfish motives (James 4:3), and
• according to the will of God (1 John 5:14-15).
Lord, I confess that I’m not good at waiting for Your answers to my prayers. But as I wait, I believe You will build my faith, purify my heart, and show me Your will. Thank You!
Always Ready to Listen
When you fail to pray, you end up feeling distant from God. And that, in turn, makes upi even more reluctant to pray.
No matter how distant you might feel from the Lord, God is always close by. He hasn’t changed, moved, disappeared, or lost interest in you. So close the gap. Take a simple step toward God and talk to Him. The more you do this, the more comfortable you’ll become communicating with Him. And the more you pray, the more opportunity you’ll have to ask for His help for yourself and on behalf of others. And the more you ask, the more answers and guidance you’ll receive. No matter what your situation, God is always ready to listen!
Father, thank You for always being near, always listening, and always caring. Help me to look to You in every situation and to never allow a gap to develop between us. Amen.
Too Busy to Pray?
Often when you fail to pray, you say it’s because you’re so busy. But in reality, it’s not your schedule that keeps you from praying. It’s your failure to realize the importance of prayer and make the time to pray.
And instead of relying upon the power of prayer in all that you do, you turn to your feeble wisdom and energy. You roll up your sleeves and get busy, turning to your own power instead of God’s.
If your life is so busy you can’t pray, have you ever considered it’s because you haven’t taken time to ask God for help with your priorities? Turn to Him, and He will give you the discernment that enables you to use your time well so that you are able to pray.
God, show me—what have I prioritized above my time with You? What have I depended on instead of You? Help me assess my priorities today and keep prayer at the top of the list.
