We use formulas to solve many problems, but did you know there is a formula for prayer to solve all of life’s problems? In Micah 7:7 we read, “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.” The formula is P=W+W+W., Prayer=Words+Watching+Waiting. Prayer requires us to express our needs, fears, thanks, and praise with words to God. This shows our intent. However, it doesn’t end with words. We then lean forward watching expectantly for God’s answer. This shows our faith. And then the third element is waiting. God’s timing is not our timing. He answers all prayers, but not always as we want them answered. This shows our trust. The good news is God’s prayer line is open 24/7. Today try the ultimate formula for all life’s problems, prayer.
