We go to the doctor when we are ill, but we pray before we go. The reason we pray before we go is because we ask God to use the doctor as his healing instrument.
We hire a lawyer to represent us in court, but we pray before we go to court. The reason we pray first is because we want God to use our lawyer as an instrument of our defense.
We pray before we do everything because we ask God to interact with our situation in a way that moves us closer to his will.
We recognize that all healing, blessings, and opportunities happen because of the grace of God and are often directed by God for our benefit. We also know that if we are saved from a bad outcome God, on occasion, God may say no to our prayer request.
We accept that because we know if he says no, that is his will for us. That’s what happened to Jesus in the garden, he prayed not to go to Calvary, but he accepted the will of God. It ultimately benefited all of those who followed Christ and saved or souls.
We pray because God knows best.
That's the idea behind Jeremiah 17: 14 Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
As you close out your day, pray a prayer of thanks, and humility. Let it conclude with thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
