Ironically, the media coverage they receive invariably draws added attention to God and His sovereignty. God surely owes them a debt of gratitude for helping spread His gospel. What they fail to realize is that it is virtually impossible to escape the influence of this man called Jesus. You can deny that He is the Son of God, but you cannot deny His impact and influence on humanity. As he turns his reel, his boat moves slowly toward the place where his hook is caught firmly in the crevice of a rock.
Prayer is like that.
The Body of Christ needs desperately to be casting our prayers to the Rock of our Salvation. Somewhere along the way, through centuries of accumulating personal successes, immeasurable spiritual blessings, and incredible wealth, we lost the sense of urgency for prayer. Sadly, we have become self-sufficient, boasting in our own abilities. We neglect the gracious Giver of all good gifts. We forget the One who offers true satisfaction.
