The Well of Prayer

"It is written," he said to them. "My house will be called a house of prayer…"
- Matthew 21:13

Have you ever questioned why circumstances seem to be getting worse rather than better?

The answer can be found in your response. How do you respond to the attacks of the enemy? Do you complain, get frustrated, overwhelmed, disheartened, disillusioned or angry? Do you start to blame others, or do you take time to pray?

Do you pray when you have a need or when you want something from God? Are your prayers all about you?

It is time for you to re-dig your well of prayer. God allows times of adversity to strengthen us. He allows the devil to throw things at us to build our Christ-like character.

How you respond to the test is key. The devil will bombard you with distractions—financial woes, health concerns, fear and insecurity. He does not want you to become more like Christ.

God has provided fresh living water for you if you are willing to re-dig your well of prayer. Let God know you are ready to throw out worry, despair, anxiety and hopelessness.

When trouble comes, run to God in prayer, and receive the answers only He can provide.
