We should expect great things from a great God. This portrait of prayer, found in Joshua 3, shows that the priests carried the ark of God to the banks of Jordan at flood time and put their feet into its waters. They fully expected God to respond.
Day 2: Examine Personally
Are your prayers hitting a wall? Do you despair in prayer? Examine your heart to ensure you are seeking His answers and not your own.
Day 3: Exemplify Purity
We can only expect the wonders of God when we are in His will. We are to be examples of God’s purity, sanctified and separated from sin. Do not pray “My will be done” but rather “Thy will be done.”
God’s partnership in prayer is His purpose in prayer. God wants you to partner with Him. Participate with God in God-sized tasks and He will exalt you, but His answers are to exalt Him. God will exalt Himself through fallible humans.
Expect Natural Problems in Prayer, but Supernatural Provisions. He answers prayers not because you pray it but because He can provide it.
Do you expect God to answer your prayers. Well. Don't. You will be disappointed. But there is one prayer He will always answer. Just ask Peter.
