God waits, until you know why you are praying

[Gottservant]

Hi there,

So basically I became a convert at about ten, lost my way (cares of this life) and was convicted to try and reboot my faith (by my Mum).

For about a decade I was trying to believe, with no idea why.

Then I made a mental connection: Jesus said "until now you have asked nothing in My Name" and also "I do not say I will pray" - Jesus wanted me to pray because that is what He said!

To cut a long story short, God basically said to me "That is why you must pray, just as Jesus had faith and prayed: so you must also."

And for the first time in my life, I have had peace about the part of my prayer that made sense - not the "I make you my Lord" nonsense, but the fact that I sin and need forgiveness: something I can transcend through; not because "I" am praying, but because God has heard me!

I hope this is some comfort to you. God bless your words, as He blessed Jesus'.

Makes perfect sense to me. Amen and well said.

God bless you, may he bring you everlasting peace, love and joy. Halleluia, Amen!

I know the feeling when I got saved in July of 2015.
