Bible Study: Successful Prayer

What prayers of ours have been successful?
Realize that if our experiment fails it is not
due to a lack in God but a natural lack in
ourselves. What scientist would be
discouraged if his first experiment failed?

We intend with God’s help to heal our
shortcomings, to repair our ‘spiritual’ wiring.
We need not fear to test His power by prayer.
We must be in accordance with God’s will.

So a wise seeker after God
had better study the laws of God
and adapt his prayers to them.
God’s nature is love so we pray in love.
When our electric lights fail, we know that the fault is not a lack of electricity in the universe but in the wiring. Edison tried hundreds of times to get electricity to flow continuously until finally he succeeded – that is faith.

God’s activity can also be blocked; by fear,
no trust…. or operating out of His will.
Your examples?
God’s plans are always good. John 10:10

Praise and thanks keep a continuous flow
of His power. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
