The Wisdom Journey

Prayer is the appropriate response to every agonizing situation in life. But that does not mean either the situation or prayer itself suddenly becomes easy. Jesus' prayer in the garden demonstrates the great emotional struggle it can be to align our will with God’s will.

Jesus' prayer in John 17 shows us how important purity and unity are to the church. There can be no true unity apart from purity in life and purity in doctrine. As we all strive for such purity by the Spirit’s power, we will experience unity and the answer to Christ’s prayer.

The trials and challenges of life just keep coming, but they do not have to overcome us. We can survive them courageously and ultimately with joy when we have the right perspective on God, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the power of prayer.

God's perfect, eternal plan centers on the work of Jesus Christ. God's work does not have a backup plan because He does not need one.
