Christmas Day Thoughts On Prayer

Here I am on Christmas morning writing my thoughts into words.
I am led to write about prayer.
In the last week especially, I have heard Christian friends stateing that they know they should pray - but they don't really know if it does much good!
Jesus said that Christians should "Ask and you will receive".
You notice that He doesn't say, "Ask for a specific material thing and you will receive that specific material thing."
I believe that what Jesus meant was: PRAY AND YOU WILL RECEIVE AN ANSWER!
And I believe that that answer will come in one of three and only three forms:

1. "YES - that's a good idea; let's do it now!

2. "NO - you might not realize it, but that's not really a good idea!

3. "LATER - I like the idea, but now is not the best time!

And I believe that the Holy Spirit working within you will make known to you one of these three answers.
We cannot understand with our human minds God's reasoning about our request, but we can know that His answer is for our ultimate good OR for the ultimate good of those in contact with us (Romans 8:28).

MAY YOU HAVE A BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND FUTURE YEAR.
