Magnificent Prayer #330
I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.
Philippians 3:8
For true power in prayer, hold nothing back. Be surrendered to Christ. Go all out for Him. Forsake all to follow the Savior. The type of devotion that crowns Christ Lord of all is the kind that He loves to honor.
WILLIAM MACDONALD
Pray About It: When we hold back from God, we short-circuit our prayers. Sometimes we live our Christian life only partially surrendered to Him. We will give Him just so much—ten percent of our money, an hour or two on Sunday, a prayer every day, and a nod to Him every so often as if we’d just encountered an acquaintance on the street. Such surrender isn’t surrender at all. Give up all to Him. Become totally dependent on God. By giving, you get. By keeping, you lose.
One of the greatest miracles the Lord can perform in our behalf is to cripple all our human efforts and make us totally dependent on Him.
