Do your prayers seem to bounce off the wall and back into your face? Do you feel as if your petitions barely reach the ceiling before falling back shattered at your feet? How can your puny prayers become prevailing prayers?
Christ’s Way to Pray by Dr. Philip Samaan explains that the answer is not found in focusing on our own fickle faith or puny prayers, but focusing on Christ’s formidable faith and powerful prayers. The real answer is found in joining our weak prayers with Christ’s mighty prayers. The Christ who prays for us and with us personally, passionately, powerfully, and perpetually.
Christ longs to take our “smelly” prayers and fragrance them with the “much incense” of His prayers. He yearns to take the trickle of our prayers and mingle it with the mighty flood of His prayers.
As you linger in the embrace of the praying Jesus, let Him encircle you with His compassionate human arm as the Son of Man, and with His sovereign divine arm as the Son of God let Him grasp the throne of the Infinite.
