Magnificent Prayer #151
Magnificent Prayer #151
Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me!
Psalm 66:20
Our best prayers are but the echo of God’s promises. God’s best answers are the echo of our prayers. As in two mirrors set opposite to each other, the same image is repeated over and over again, the reflection of a reflection. So here, within our prayer, gleams an earlier promise, within the answer is mirrored the prayer.
ALEXANDER MACLAREN
Pray About It: A prayer and its answer are inseparable, like the two sides of a coin. Or like the echo of a voice shouted into a canyon. God conceived the answer to your prayer before you even asked it—that’s how united the two are. Know for certain that for every prayer you pray, there is a God-ordered answer. There are no unanswered prayers.
It is as natural to Him to answer prayer as it is for us to ask.
