MANIFEST MANNA: Meditate on Hebrews 11:4-6. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” As true Believers, we know that God not only hears our prayers, but he LISTENS to our prayers intently. God may even actually be influenced or persuaded by our prayers…However, what we sometimes forget is that a prayer is a REQUEST which can be declined or granted under the subjection to the Sovereign Will of God. Although we in our flesh have faulty hearing and selective amnesia, God has the divine ability to cut through the supposed “prayers” that are steeped in agendas, wrong motives, selfishness, and greed. God’s inner ear can swiftly distinguish between a scheme and cry of desperation; He listens for requests lined in bitterness, anger, and arrogance as opposed to pain, repentance, and humility. As we prepare to move into deeper relationship with Him, let’s be clear that poor planning, procrastination, panic, and anxiety do not cause the Hand of God to move in our favor! Try changing your approach! Today, perform a “wedding ceremony” in your spiritual formation: that is, let your PRAYER be married to your FAITH. It is this covenant–and none other, that has the power to transform and SHIFT me from pain, to empowerment, to PLEASING God–immediately!
