Knowing and Enjoying God: A 14-Day Reading Plan With Tim ChalliesНамуна

There is a close connection between prayer and humility. This being the case, there is also a close connection between prayerlessness and pride.
Those who believe they are self-sufficient feel no need to petition God for his help, for his strength, for his wisdom. It is only those who admit their lack who will cry out to God.
H.B. Charles lays out a sobering challenge: “The things you pray about are the things you trust God to handle.” Conversely, “the things you neglect to pray about are the things you trust you can handle on your own.”
In this way both prayer and prayerlessness are deeply significant and even deeply symbolic.
To pray is to admit we need help; to fail to pray is to indicate we feel no need for help.
Is there any area of life in which we need no divine help whatsoever? Of course not! Then there is no area of life we should not pray about; there is no petition too small.
We can, we must, make our requests known to God.
