Pain and hardship will certainly cause us to pray; sometimes even more than our needs and wants. But why do we continue finding ourselves in hard places, difficult places, even addicted places? We experience pain and hardship because we live in a broken world, and in an unseen war where there is an “evil one” against us. What do we do? The fourth way Jesus told us to pray is found in Matthew 6:13, and that is to “lead not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Part 2: Shift the Focus

What if the reason our prayers don’t seem to work is because we are not praying correctly? What if we are doing it wrong? Can we do it wrong? What if prayer hasn’t worked for you because you don’t understand how prayer is supposed to work? We MUST learn how to pray so we don’t go our whole lives participating in it without experiencing the power of it. Maybe if we’d simply said, “Lord teach us to pray” we would experience prayer in a completely different way.

As we continue to pray God will always provide what we need, which is more of Him. We can always trust our God to provide all we need. If an earthy father desires good gifts for his children, how much more does our heavenly Father desire for us?
