PRAYING FOR POWER

           I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go.  My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for that day. --Abraham Lincoln

Psalm 88:9, Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

            Calling to the Lord. Crying out to God. Whispering a prayer. I don’t care how you communicate with the Lord, just do it. It is the believer’s source of strength. The access we have to God surpasses any other resource that we have in our tool box Christian friend! There isn’t anywhere that it cannot be accessed. Elijah called out under the juniper tree. Paul prayed in prison. Jesus prayed on the Cross.

            We can call Him in our times of tribulations. We can call out to Him in times of sorrow. We can call out to Him for power, wisdom, health, strength, and even victory! But when is the last time you called out to the Lord to just thank Him for the blessings He gives?
