Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

There’s Power

January 15, 2013

When my sister found out she had cancer, I asked my friends to pray. When she had surgery, we prayed that the surgeon would be able to remove all of the cancer and that she wouldn’t have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation. And God answered yes! When I reported the news, one friend remarked, “I’m so glad there’s power in prayer.” I responded, “I’m thankful that God answered with a yes this time.”

James says that “the effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (5:16). But does “effective” and “fervent” mean the harder we pray, or the more people we ask to pray, the more likely God is to answer with a yes? I’ve had enough “no” and “wait” answers to wonder about that.

Prayer is powerful, but it’s such a mystery. We’re taught to have faith, to ask earnestly and boldly, to persevere, to be surrendered to His will. Yet God answers in His wisdom and His answers are best. I’m just thankful that God wants to hear our hearts and that no matter the answer, He is still good.

I like Ole Hallesby’s words: “Prayer and helplessness are inseparable. Only those who are helpless can truly pray. . . . Your helplessness is your best prayer.” We can do helplessness quite well.

Lord, I’ve been taught many things about prayer—be
specific, be bold, be surrendered, be strong in faith,
be persistent. Today I recognize my helplessness and
Your power as I share my heart with You. Amen.
Prayer is the child’s helpless cry to the Father’s attentive ear.

Read: James 5:13-18

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. —James 5:16
Bible in a Year:
Genesis 36-38; Matthew 10:21-42

I was stationed there from Feb 1977 - Feb 1978. Some beautiful country up there. One year it snowed during the 4th of July fireworks show. Watched that one while wearing my parka. Nice summers, but some very cold winters. I saw -38 without the wind and up to -100 wind chill. I believe they shut down the flight line at -70 or so. During both winters we had up to 2 weeks where the high was still below zero.

Nice, I visited Malmstrom for a few days in February 1979. All of their grain silo’s had no grain. Just a bunch of minutemen, and they were all underground.
