My Answer May Be Waiting on Your Prayer

“Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for,

it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”

Matthew 18:19

 

 

If you find that your prayers are hindered – ask yourself if you have been praying with others!

The prayer of agreement may be how God brings that long awaited answer.

We all struggle from time to time.

Still, some are of the mind-set that they will pull themselves up by the own boot-straps, continue to pray by themselves and wait for the answer.

“My problems are nobody else’s business!” they say.

But what if the answer is waiting because God has determined it will only be delivered through the prayer of agreement?

Would you want to intentionally miss it?

Of course not!

But that is what we are setting ourselves up for when we only and always try to go it alone.

You know very well that we are not intended to walk this walk alone.

Sure, there are solitary seasons and moments just between the Lord and you.

But God established His church, not His churches!

He set us among, and with, other believers; those described in II Peter 1:1 as

 being of  “…like precious faith…”

There can be many reasons why our prayers are hindered but don’t let pride be one of them.

God may have the answer right outside your door.

Maybe He’s just waiting on you to pray together with that “…brother of low estate…” because He wants to teach you that He hears and answers the prayers of all His children when they pray in faith and not just because they sound or look “right” to you!

So you see that the prayer of agreement requires humility on my part to recognize

that my answer may be waiting on your prayer!
