“Only” Prayer

It's good to know the 3 Results of Prayer so we can respond biblically.

Prayer is significant, important, critical, and powerful. It should be the thing we do first, last, and always.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6

Sometimes our prayers lead us to “wait constructively” or take some action. Sometimes there’s nothing we can do but pray and keep praying. 

Perhaps an unsaved loved one refuses to listen when we share Christ, or a friend cuts off contact with us even though we’ve tried our best to reconcile, or God prompts us to pray for national and world events beyond our control (1 Timothy 2:1-3).

Sometimes the best thing we can do is pray and keep praying. So let's be “joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12

As Jesus taught in Luke 18:1, “Always pray and never give up.”(1)
