I’ve been reading something called “The Gospel Coalition Blog” for a few months now, and I thought I would share it with you. Some of the posts are a little lengthy and can use a lot of Bible-college level language, but the content of it is always full of truth and wisdom.
This particular post is a story about the power of prayer. It touched me because lately I’ve been feeling as though my prayers have gone unanswered, even though I’m doing my best to pray along with God’s will. Then, the last few weeks, God seems to have unleashed a full new storehouse of blessings and answered prayers.
It’s a good reminder that miracles do happen. God does answer prayers. Jesus was not just a teacher, giving us a revised moral code to live by, but God himself, and he desperately wants us to give him all our requests and prayers so that he can answer those he loves.
“And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14:13-14)
