James: book of Godly wisdom - part 4

JAMES 1:6
But let him ask in faith -nothing wavering.
For he that wavers is like a wave of the
sea driven with wind and tossed.

God already knows what we have need of before we even ask - He sees both the beginning and the end at the same time for He exists outside of time as we know it - as we measure our lives in years -He sees to the end of time and beyond - but God commands us to pray without ceasing -to always seek His face in prayer - prayer is vital to our relationship to Jesus Christ- for without prayer -there is no communication -there is no relationship to be honest- many will pray without their hearts in it -but God goes even further when He says we must ask in faith - we must believe God and take Him at His word- when we ask for something -we must have the faith to back it up -we must believe He will do what's best at all times- there will be times when God does something we do not agree with -but again He knows best - He knows all - if we don't believe what we pray -we are wasting out time -we are like the sea - the waves are all tossed about and all sense of direction is gone - we must believe and not be a fair-weather prayer warrior - we must pray no matter what the results may be - if we believe God will hear us and answer our prayers then He will - but we must be cautious not to always expect the answers we want - it does not work that way - whatever God's will is -we must submit to it - God has been dealing with me for sometime about some issues I am currently going through and this thought came to me today that there is a difference between surrender and giving up - when we surrender we admit our need for Jesus and submit to what HE wants- but when we give up -we no longer have any desire to see God's will -lets not give up but pray in faith - prayers must be of faith or they won't accomplish anything at all- let's pray with our hearts!

a side note: : Pray is not as much a one way street as it as two way street -when we pray -we need to make time to hear from God - its not about what we say - but its about our hearts - its about submitting to Him - its about communication with the Father! Happy prayers everyone!
in CHRIST our prayers are answered!
