Prayer (4)

'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.' Psalm 91:15
If you can believe it, it was only 30 some years ago when the Internet was being formed by guys like Bill Gates who were making it easy for people like you and me to subscribe and send electronic mail (e-mail) to other users of the Internet. We can laugh and say was it only that long ago, but technology has moved so fast in our lifetime. Originally, Gates had an Internet address just like everyone. But he got into trouble when The New Yorker magazine published his Internet address. Now anyone could send the computer genius a letter. In no time he was swamped with five thousand messages-he simply couldn't handle it. So he armed his computer with software that filtered his e-mail, allowing important messages through and sending all the others to electronic oblivion. We call that junk mail today. As humans we are limited; we can handle only so much and do only so much. God, on the other hand, never tires of s-mail (spirit mail). His ear is always open to our prayers. And He has an unlimited capacity to help. You'll never hear Him say, 'Due to an unusually high call volume I am unable to take your message at this time. Please call back or leave a message.' No, the Bible says, 'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honour him.' '...the desire of the righteous will be granted' (Proverbs 10:24 NKJV). '...the prayer of the upright is His delight' (Proverbs 15:8 NKJV). 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know' (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV). 'If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you' (John 15:7 NKJV). When we take scripture by faith and apply it to our lives; John says, "and it shall be done for you!" You are loved...
