Prayer. At its most basic, it is talking with the God of the
universe. That, in an of itself, is one of the most amazing aspects
of prayer. However, what is God's purpose for authentic Christians
in prayer? Throughout Scripture, we see prayers of all types,
prayers of hope, prayers of desperation, prayers of praise, and
prayers of discovery. For the authentic Christian, the highest
calling we have is to commune with God through prayer in order to
discover God's will. Too often today, people are taught that prayer
is a tool to use to fulfill our own requests. We are unabashedly
taught that being selfish in prayer is the true purpose of prayer.
The tragedy of this type of thinking is that it turns God into a
genie, to be used for our purposes. In this book, author Fred
DeRuvo explores the reality of prayer, the purpose of prayer, and
the means to discovering God's will. We are told to pray and we are
told to pray ceaselessly. But are we told to pray this way to
accomplish what we want accomplished, or what God wants
accomplished? DeRuvo maintains that true prayer is prayer that
seeks to discover God's will for every situation. Once discovered,
prayer can then be entered into to find the strength to fulfill
God's will for that day, hour, and situation. Prayer is one of the
greatest weapons the authentic Christian has in order to overcome
the onslaught of the enemy. Without it, we are defeated. Without a
right understanding of it, we endanger our Christian testimony and
witness. God wants us to pray. But He wants us to pray for HIS
will, not ours.
