Are We Praying Spiritual Babble?
Even though God tells us to persevere in prayer, I wonder if we sometimes cross an invisible line from persistence to panic-type praying.

Prayer is more than asking God to meet our needs. It’s actively engaging with the Creator of the universe, the Savior of our souls every minute of every day.
God’s plans far outweigh our whims. Let’s choose to trust that in His wisdom and love, He will answer in ways that are always best in the long run.
Absolutely. It doesn’t guarantee the results we want or the timing we wish, but it moves God to action. A recent phone call reminded me of this truth.
Because of who Jesus is, praying in His name gives me faith to believe that God will hear and answer in a way that is completely right and in the right timing.
Asking God to guard us from problems may not get us the answer we want. If we pray according to His will, the answer will come in His time and in His way.
Thank you for your role in the ministry that happened this summer–North Americans and Eastern Europeans alike. Eternity alone with reveal the results.
Rest assured that, so long as our hearts are in right relationship with Him and we ask with right motives, He will listen to our requests.
I love when God answers prayer in ways that defy human explanation. At Heathrow, He made His presence undeniably obvious, and I’ll forever remember that moment.
Scripture says Satan is our enemy; he constantly prowls about seeking ways to destroy us. We find safety from his evil intent when we hide ourselves in Christ.
Sometimes we run ahead of God’s timing, or try to manipulate our circumstances. Why? Because we doubt God’s ability to fulfill His purposes for us.
We face an enemy who seeks to destroy us, but we can force him to retreat in defeat. We won’t do battle alone; God fights for us and with us.
Watching God answer specific prayers exceeding abundantly above on Kim and David’s behalf has been such a delight. And He’ll do the same for you.
Saturday marked the celebration of Kim Fox and David Long’s commitment to marriage. What a celebration it was! Everyone, it seems, felt God’s smile on the day.
We’ve seen God’s involvement in every detail of our daughter’s wedding–even in supplying a wonderful photographer.
God’s goodness in supply a wedding dress alteration specialist exactly when we needed one.
Outdoor venues for summer weddings are booked early. How would we find one with only five weeks notice? God opens closed doors, even for wedding venues.
My daughter’s three bridesmaids live in three different cities. How God answered impossible prayers for their bridesmaid dresses.
Two years ago, I added a couple of specific requests to my prayer for my daughter and her future spouse. Here’s how God answered.
Anxious for your kids’ well-being? Here are 10 prayers to acknowledge our dependency upon God and then bringing specific requests to Him on their behalf.
Seeking direction? God promises to give guidance, but there’s a prerequisite.
Prayer makes a difference in ways we may never understand. Here’s a biblical example of how God invites and waits for our participation through prayer.
My family means more to me than anything this world offers. But what bearing does our relationship with Christ have on our kids?
Feeling weak? I am. Here’s a personal story that will encourage you today.
How much we would delight His heart if we would run to him. God wants to shower us with His blessings. All we have to do is be there to receive them.
One young man–a special fellow who has known more hardship in 25 years than most of us will see in a lifetime–said, “I pray every night with my friend.”
When I pray for wisdom, I know God will answer. He’ll do the same for you. He wants you to succeed in life, and He longs to give you the tools to do so.
God rides across the heavens to help us. He rushes across the skies in majestic splendor to rescue us. He sees us from afar, and He rides the wind to save us.
I can hardly wait to see how God is going to draw the women from this retreat into greater intimacy with Him, transforming and using them in amazing ways.
Rather than stress about the changed plans, I’ll embrace them as an opportunity to enjoy the unexpected, to count my blessings, and to rest in God’s sovereignty
Sometimes I simply don’t know how to pray. That’s when I find confidence in using the Scriptures as my basis for intercession.
“The rest of my prayer that morning became this: Simplify my heart, Lord, to have just one request: To know You and dwell with You intimately.”
I’d rather lavish love long-distance, even if it’s never acknowledged, than risk being misunderstood or used by someone known with a difficult personality.
I hope to have a heart-to-heart with God when I reach heaven because I have a few questions that need answers. Here’s one: What difference does prayer make?
What’s your usual response when faced with major decisions? Do you rush ahead or do you take a moment to ask God for direction?
When I feel afraid, Psalm 107 speaks to me. One section tells of sailors whose ships were tossed to the heavens and plunged to the depths.
