Missionary John Rusk sent me this article on prayer today. I was very encouraged when I read it because it brings a fresh perspective on why we pray. Petitioning prayer is rebelling against the status quo, a refusal to accept what a fallen world dictates life should be like. I can press God's agenda on life's situation though prayer. I can boldly ask the Father for what ought to be, regardless of how impossible it may seem. That is our right as His children. I hope it encourages you to ask boldly for what ought to be, rather than just accepting what already is.
