One of the greatest dangers that hinders our prayers is the prayer that is motivated by need and not devotion (James 4:3).  While we are commanded to bring our needs to God in prayer... our motivation should be love and devotion to Him.

Prayer is not a matter of changing things externally, but one of changing internally. Very often, our inclination is to dictate to God what consequences we want as a condition of our obedience to Him.

True prayer is wrought by Christ in us. As we journey with Jesus in prayer; we come to appreciate and appropriate His zeal for the glory of God. Very often there are vast areas of stubbornness and ignorance that the Holy Spirit continues to challenge. This is why Christ is so demanding of our attention towards prayer.

The temptation to listen to self as the final authority is a constant battle. The majority of us will not hear anything but ourselves. If we listen to God as the only authority, we will realize the likeness of Christ as our only advantage necessary in life.  Jealously guard to keeping your attention and affection stimulated by the indwelling Holy Spirit.   We live in a world that always meets with personal sorrow.  Listening to God in prayer does not eliminate sorrows, God will keep the sorrows from eliminating us. Settle it now, that the leading of the Holy Spirit is the solution.  Amen.

Sincerely Dr. Arthur Belanger
