Psalm 51:10 – 13 (LSB)
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me away from Your presence And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation And sustain me with a willing spirit. 13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners will be converted to You.”
What is the center of your life, the focal point, the thing that is most important to you? Any number of people will have a new idea or maybe some particular thing they are focusing on.
The scriptures teach us that God will provide for all our needs. He will be the buffet of the winds and storms that come against His people. We had the privilege to pray for three people who sought prayer for different reasons. We prayed based on James 5:13 – 15. “Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.”
The key words I find in these scriptures are from verse 15 “they offered the prayer of faith.” It is the prayer of faith offered to God for the need of the person being prayed for that answers prayer. Our next step is to accept the healing, forgiveness, what ever you prayed for accept the answer has come to you in the name of Jesus and you will receive.
