Our prayer life is soil; when we cultivate it, we produce a fruitful prayer life. Therefore, the foundation of a good prayer life is a good understanding of who God is and what he will be in our lives when we pray to him. God calls our prayers to grow from God I need you to provide this today. To God, can you be a provider today in my life? I am facing this situation and know you are a provider. Can you come and be that in my life today? When we shift our understanding of God and apply it to our prayer lives, we will begin to experience the fruits of answers that seem to evade us when we pray.
