Part 5 in our The Five Types of Prayer Series
First, know that God can use the scraps and repurpose anything for God’s purposes. God promises to make all things new. And second, you need to show God trust for God to work out those new things in you. If we cannot trust God, what we should be lamenting is not the wasted scraps and the mess-ups, but the fact that we have a broken relationship with God.
Remember that God can repurpose anything to make something new. That includes your prayer life and your relationship with God. We have gone through the five major types of prayer to help you understand why each type is important. We cannot rely just on one and we cannot rely on turning to them only once a week or once a month. We need to continually turn to God every moment that we can, and we do that with prayer. If you assess that your relationship with God could be stronger at any point in your walk with the Lord, go ahead and lament that. Let God hear your distress over this realization! And then, do something about it. Repent from the mistakes you have made and promise to do better. Show God that you follow through on your promises. Show God that you can be better in your commitment to the Lord in your prayer life. Show your dedication. Show your commitment to complete it. For God has always shown His dedication to us. May all honor and glory be to God. Thanks be to God!
