When you pray, do you hope that God hears you?
When you pray, is it more of a sanctified wish?
When you pray, are you aware of what God can do?
What we are offered is the opportunity to pray to a God who has proven Himself throughout time and history and who holds all power and authority in both Heaven and Earth.
If we spend time with God and truly learn who He is, we no longer have to wish and hope; we gain access to the throne of God Himself by His invitation.
This is how prayer becomes a miraculous force, and not just a religious exercise.
