"Heart is the Key"

Scripture Reading:
James 4:3  (HCSB) You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.

Devotional Reading:

You'll find little argument from people about the importance of prayer. Most people pray. Everyone needs it. But the reality is, prayer is often disappointing. We don't get the results we desire. Let me share with you why: It's found in the Bible, in the book of James.  You ask the Lord in prayer and do not get, because your motives are wrong; they are self serving.  (emphasis added).  Prayer is not so much about asking God for what we want. It's about finding out what He wants and finding the strength to do it. Selfish prayers disappoint. Prayers to get to know God, to find strength and to do His will, bring tremendous results--sometimes even supernatural results. This kind of praying is powerful because you get plugged into the ultimate power source--the God of the universe.  How's your prayer life? Fulfilling or disappointing? Remember your motive, for your heart is the key. Why don't you take a moment right now and talk with God for the purpose of seeking His will. You'll be pleased with the results!  Be still, be silent and listen to the voice of the KING!

Keep the Son in your eyes,
