There Are No Short-Cuts Prayer is more than telling the Lord what we think He should do, and all the wonderful things that would happen if only He would do as we ask. Real prayer begins when we enter into such communion with Jesus, that the Holy Spirit can pray the will of the Father through us. This is taking hold of the willingness of the Lord, not overcoming His reluctance. He may reluctantly give us something that we continually press Him for – to our own hurt. Note the children of Israel who pressed Him for meat, rather than being satisfied with the Manna that He had provided. He gave them quail, but Scripture tells us that it brought leanness to their souls. There are no shortcuts, or push-button methods of entering into His presence. Prayer means spending quality time with the Lord. When the Lords people come to an understanding of the value of having a set apart place of prayer for communion with Him, and often enter into this place, they will be on their way to a life of fruitfulness in His purposes.
