Seven Ways to Sabotage Your Prayer Life

While all that you stated may very well be truth we should ask ourselves; what is prayer? Prayer is asking of the One who made us, created us, for something as well as it also is Thanking Jesus as well as Praising Jesus who actually made it possible for us, mere Gentiles who are and were grafted into God's original plan to pick and choose whom He would save. Christ says if I be lifted up I will draw all nigh unto me, so we lift up Christ for His works to be done. While we pray, if we pray, without giving up, without ceasing, without thinking about ourselves; what do we ask from the One who made us? Do we ask for prosperity while Christ promises to Bless us with prosperity or should we just Thank Jesus and Praise Jesus for His promises, for His actions and leave the rest alone? I believe we should always enter into Christ with Praises and Thanks to Him all the while Thanking Him and Praising Him for what He promises to us.

I once was very specific about asking Jesus for a couple of 4 wheelers. I was specific about the price. I was specific about the condition. I must have waited ### months to a year before my step child shared a great deal on a couple of 4 wheelers that he had found. While I may have doubted, I didn't speak that. I went to look at them all the while Thanking Jesus and Praising Jesus for His ability to do what I believed He was doing, what He did. When I got there they were like new yet they were out of gas and didn't start, I couldn't bring myself to talk the guy down on his price nor did I desire to try to start them. I knew they would start. I knew they would run. I knew Jesus was blessing me with what I'd asked for. Long story short they ran, they drove and they did everything that you would hope they would do. We pushed them onto a trailer and drove away with them all the while I knew they would be everything I had hoped for and they were. $###,### dollars a peace value for 4 wheelers that I got for $###,### a peace was the most best deal that only Jesus could have gotten! Jesus is and always will be my hero!

Back to what you posted. Prayer is something that we do to and for the One who initially made us and He asks us to pray and to pray without ceasing. Should sin stop us from praying? We are and always will be sinners, yet we have an advocate at the right hand of the Father, right? Should we stop praying for any reason? I don't believe any reason should stop us from praying, does anyone else here?

Should we let someone else have dominion over our prayers or our prayer life? I don't believe we can. Does anyone have any right to tell us to give all the while we have given as well as give or gave? I don't believe anyone has any right to try to stop Christ from doing His part in our lives for His changes in our lives to change us for His Glory! We live and die unto Jesus, the One who made us, the One who changes us as well as the One who does, did and will do for us!

I say Thank You, Praise You Lord Jesus for what You did, do and will do and I know You do the same! Glory to You Lord Jesus!
