Prayer is not just our requests, but it is also humbly listening to our God. Have you refused to listen to God?
"Now if you will fear and worship the Lord and listen to his voice, and if you do not rebel against the Lord's commands, and if you and your king follow the Lord your God, then all will be well. But if you rebel against the Lord's commands and refuse to listen to him, then his hand will be as heavy upon you as it was upon your ancestors." 1 Samuel 12:14-15 NLT
To reject God's call upon us is to rebel
The word rebel conjures up images of motorcycles, black leather jackets, tattoos, and arrogant, angry attitudes. Sometimes rebellion against God does manifest itself in such dramatic forms, but rebellion can be much more subtle.
A failure to worship God leads to a failure to listen to his commands. Such disrespect is rebellion against God—whether we wear black leather or suits and ties.
What subtle forms of rebellion tend to creep into your life? They can be a real hindrance to your prayer life. Repent and be make whole. Listen to God when you pray and read Scripture, and humbly obey Hiw Commands and His call upon your life.
