Magnificent Prayer #184
Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great.
1 Timothy 3:16
The reason for human intercession in the divine plan has not been wholly revealed. The repeated statements of Scripture that it is a necessary link in the chain that carries the divine energy into the impotent souls of men, in addition to its actual achievement as seen in the world, must be the sufficient evidence of the imperative need for the prayer in connection with the purpose of God. Thus in the Scriptures and in experience it is revealed that God has honored man with an exalted place of cooperation and partnership with Himself in His great projects of human transformation.
LEWIS SPERRY CHAFER
Pray About It: Face it, God could do whatever He wants, whenever He wants. Why did He even bother with creating prayer? For one important reason—He wants to use us in fulfilling His plan. We become colaborers with God as we unite with Him in prayer. This is one of the highest privileges of the believer. And yet, prayer is still a great mystery. But a mystery spawned from God’s love.
Prayer is the most wonderful act in the spiritual realm as well as a most mysterious affair.
