The Prayer associated with wisdom


After many experiences with God, and His fidelity through the answered prayers, we are able to say yes, prayer works! As each day goes by, we learn more but it isn’t always easy to learn how to stay in prayer while waiting for God to take control of the situation. I learned how to do this a long time ago, when I was facing a very difficult situation, and God spoke with me, allowing me to understand that my anxiety would only delay my blessings. When we are anxious, we are also creating room for doubts and doubts are the enemy of our faith, so I decided to let God act in my life and to take full control. Many times, when we speak to God about a problem and then say that we place it in His hands, time passes and our problems don’t seem to be resolved. What happens then, we end up trying to resolve it with our own hands. For example; when a husband begins to change his behavior in a negative way, which does not please God, or if a son or daughter begins to show signs of bad behavior, we trust in God through prayer, but after a certain time if we do not see results, we decide to take action in our own hands. We begin to complain, argue and even begin to speak things we should not say. When this occurs, God is not be able to do much more, since we decided to take action upon our hands. It is as if we are removing the problem from the hands of God and placing it in our own hands. At that moment, our prayer loses power. When we try to control our husbands or children with a huge list of things that we would like to see in them, we are acting wrongfully. We should never place our expectations on a person to change for themselves, or expect that he/she is going to change immediately, we should place our expectations in God, trusting that He is going to work in the life of that person and by His power, that person is going to be transformed. Sometimes, things that we may say or do can damage the plan that God has for us, therefore the best thing to do is to keep silent and pray. When we completely trust in the action of the Holy Spirit, everything changes. The form in which we see things can change and become clearer. A prayer associated with wisdom can do marvelous things and you can be sure, we have authority to stop evil from entering our lives and permit for the goodness of God to enter. Prayer is the supreme language of love, and through prayer when we use our authority, we are allowing God to transform our lives. God Bless!!!

  1. That is very true. I am learning everyday that it is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Living God. Through experience I have learnt and am still learning that after you have said your part and there is no resolve to the situation, you pray. Anything more than that at times contaminates the very salvation we are fighting for.
