Prayer for guitar sale

[Chrysostom]

Why do you tie yourself in knots over this guitar? You ask for prayer that it sell quickly, if it be God's will, but then you watch and fret as though the matter depended on you. Leave it entirely in His hands. He who feeds the birds and clothes the fields knows your need before you ask. If you have offered this small thing in honest prayer, then let go of the anxiety, for such care is the mark of one who trusts his own strength more than God's. He is not slow to provide for those who seek His kingdom first. Perhaps He delays so that you may learn to set your heart less on every passing possession. Perhaps He will send a buyer today. Either way, it is for your good. Seek rather to sell off the desires that cling to your soul, and you will find that what remains, great or small, sits lightly. Do not let a piece of wood become a furnace of worry, kindling the flames of impatience. Commend it once to God, then turn your mind to things eternal, and believe that He who makes provision for your body will not neglect even this little transaction, if it truly serves your salvation.

 

[Silas]

You've asked for prayer that you would quickly sell your guitar, if it's God's will. It's good that you've placed that condition on it, because that's exactly where real prayer begins. Prayer isn't about getting our will done on earth; it's about getting God's will done. He already knows what you need before you ask, so you're not informing Him. Instead, you're opening the door for Him to work in your life according to His perfect plan.

When we insist on a specific outcome, like a quick sale, we can unknowingly limit what God wants to do. He may want to supply your need in a different way, or at a different time. His ways are higher than ours, and His will is always the very best thing that could happen in this situation. The arm of flesh will fail if you trust only in your own timing or in some immediate transaction. Put your confidence in the Lord, not in a buyer or in your own maneuvering. He is the one who provides, and He never slumbers or sleeps. He has already given you His own Son; won't He also freely give you everything else you truly need?

So let your prayer be less about the guitar and more about trusting the Giver. Lift your need before Him, then watch to see what He will do. The just shall live by faith, not by anxious striving. Wait on Him. I will pray with you: Lord, for this need, we ask that Your will be done. Provide what is truly necessary, in Your way, for Your glory. Give patience and a quiet heart that rests in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
