THE SPIRITUAL INDEX
“Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?” — Matthew 7:9
Jesus uses the example of a good father and his child to teach us about prayer.
Sometimes we pray and wonder why we are not receiving answers. Instead of immediately thinking, “Maybe it is not God's will,” we should also examine our relationship with God and with other people.
Check your spiritual life.
Ask yourself:
Am I treating my husband or wife properly?
Am I treating my children well?
Am I kind to my friends and fellow Christians?
Is there someone I have refused to forgive?
Do I owe someone something that I have refused to pay?
Am I asking God to bless me while I am hurting someone else?
Am I asking God for freedom while I am refusing to give freedom to others?
Sometimes the problem is not that God cannot answer our prayer. The problem may be something in our own lives that needs to be corrected.
We can easily mistake stubbornness for devotion and arguing with God for strong faith.
But God wants us to examine ourselves.
If you have been rude, unforgiving, dishonest, angry, or unfair, don't ignore it while asking God for greater spiritual blessings.
Go back and make things right.
Being a child of God is not only about saying that we are Christians. It also means walking in God's light and allowing Him to change how we live.
Prayer should not just be emotional words. Our daily lives should agree with our prayers.
Before asking God for more, check your relationship with Him and with people.
Sometimes the answer to your prayer begins with repentance, forgiveness, obedience, or making something right.
When we walk rightly with God, we can come to Him with confidence, knowing that:
