Magnificent Prayer #68
Magnificent Prayer #68
Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.
Psalm 147:5 KJV
Let us learn that what we bring to God of ourselves when we come to Him we must leave with Him when we go. He who knows how to cast off to God and leave it there will be delivered.
Once I brought a manuscript to a sister to be copied. I made a special trip to her for that purpose. But when I left I unconsciously brought it back with me. It was obvious she could not copy that manuscript even though she wanted to. This is the way we often pray today. With our mouth we say, “O God, please help me.” After prayer, however, we bring ourselves back home.
It is exceedingly important for us to let go.

Pray About It: Many times we come to God worried about our past sins, our future worries, and our present problems. And yet God has remedies for all three of these phases of our history. Our past sins are covered with the blood of Christ—forever gone. Our future too is under the strict oversight of God. He will allow nothing to cross our path we can’t handle. As for our present, it too is in God’s keeping. We need only to leave ourselves with God. Leave ourselves with God.
Today when you rise from prayer, be sure that your load is lighter. You will have left all your burdens there.
There is nothing too great for God’s power, and nothing too small for His love.
