“I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now…” (Phil. 1:3-5)
Prayer is vital. At the end of the description of the armor of God in Ephesians 6, Paul speaks of the importance of prayer - a glue, of sorts, that holds the armor together in spiritual battle. He asks the Ephesians to join with him in prayer that he may proclaim the gospel fearlessly.
Prayer is relationship. Paul prays for others with joy because of the partnership they have in the gospel. Prayerful communication with God is a deepening of that relationship as well.
Prayer is powerful. James reminds us that the prayer offered in faith can make a sick person well or can bring rain upon the earth. “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16

When I was in middle school, I started writing in a prayer journal. It was a more focused way of expressing my thoughts and prayers to God. It was also a tremendous testimony to how God was working in my life as I looked back and read past prayers.
Early in my high school career, I prayed that God would use my interest in languages to his glory. Because of my sister’s interest, my entire family took a sign language class, not to mention the Spanish classes in which I was already well entrenched.
Shortly after that prayer, we were offered the opportunity to host a Brazilian foreign exchange student through my high school. We were also given the chance to meet her family and host them on a visit. My limited Spanish and her broken English made it an interesting proposition to communicate with her family in portuguese.
During that time, I thought that was the only way God was answering my prayer regarding my passion for languages. Ha! I was greatly limiting God’s potential in my life.
For Throwback Thursday, take a moment to reflect on a prayer you have lifted up to God. He may not be through answering it yet. Let’s not limit his potential in our lives!
