D What do you do when God says "No" to your prayers?
V: That's a good question. Many times I just try to pray again harder.
D: Today's Power for Today author wants to give us a "broader view" of the power of prayer.
V: Right. Many people think that prayer is just asking God to give them things.
D: Yes. There was even a church that put in their "bulletin" (or newsletter) a list of "petitioners" and answers to their prayers.
V: A "petitioner" is someone who is asking for something. I think that church bulletin may give people the idea that the only purpose of prayer is asking God for help.
D: Maybe their basic idea was right, because we do need to recognize that God does hear us and many times He does answer our prayers.
V: But, as today's author says, sometimes His answer may be "No."
D: I doubt if the church bulletin also lists all the "No" answers to prayer.
V: The example in today's reading is the prayer of Jesus in the garden.
D: It was in the garden where Jesus prays for several hours.
V: And before He leaves the garden, Jesus has come to accept the "No" answer to His prayer.
D: The author calls this the "progressive acceptance of the will of God."
V: I think he is saying that through prayer we can slowly come to recognize what God wants from us.
D: That is an interesting point. So prayer is not always just asking God to give us what we want.
V: Right. It can even be an acceptance of what God wants.
D: A powerful idea! Well, time to say goodbye for awhile. Have a good one.
V: You too. |
