Jan 27 – Vignettes on Prayer

 

     Today we are going to look at James 4:2, where James talks about how we have not because we ask not.  One of the essential ingredients to prayer is asking.  Talking aloud makes what you are asking more real.  Many times in prayer we really do not know what we want.  By voicing it aloud we get clarity and knowledge.  James makes it clear that we have not because we don't ask.  Prayer is asking God for help.  I love Heb 4::16, that states God will help us in our time of need.  With His mercy and grace God will be our help.  He promises to never leave or forsake us.  James tells us to ask.  We have not because we ask not.  So my exhortation for you today is to ask.  Ask for yourself, family and others.  You are often the only link many people have to the spiritual realm.  If you don’t pray for them many times no one will.
