I came across this principle in Timothy Keller’s Prayer, that we are rich in God but without prayer and that connection with God, we are living as though we are poor.
He uses the example of someone giving you some money, and you go on living your life thinking that they just gave you a little bit, and then one day you open it up to find that they have given you a fortune. Before you checked the check, you went on living your life with your debts and financial hardships. But the whole time you were holding onto a fortune that could have changed your life.
It’s the same with prayer. If we pray and allow God to work in our hearts, then the immeasurable power and riches we inherited through Jesus’ death and resurrection can and will change our lives.
God will help us to buff out the rough places in our lives.
He can help us to change the bad habits that we have formed in our lives.
But we have to do the work of prayer and coming before Him before He can truly change our hearts.
He is always willing and able. The only real question, is if we are.
