Episode 203 - A Unique Request

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.Dr. John Rice told a story about a prayer that highlights a trap many of us fall into . When their oldest daughter Grace was a little girl, the custom of their family was to gather at the table and pray before their meal.Dr. Rice said that he noticed a peculiar trait in his daughter. Just before he would finish praying, she would begin saying, “Amen, Amen.” He then said, “As I thought on it, I realized that I was just saying the same words day after day, and she said, ‘Amen’ because she knew I was almost finished.”Prayer is not just a ritual featuring meaningless repetition of words we say with our eyes closed. Prayer is pouring out our hearts before God. The power and provision of God flow into our lives in response to our prayers. Don’t let a lack of sincere prayer keep your life from experiencing the power and presence of the Lord.
