I’m struck by the number of desperation prayers in the Prayer category. I screwed up my life, got fired, didn’t pay my taxes, ran up debts, lived an unhealthy lifetstyle, etc., etc. Bail me out, God.
I’m at least empathetic toward these folks, but this is the all-too-familiar perception of God as the Miracle Answer Man. It usually doesn’t work.
Perhaps the mess you’re in is a lesson from which you should be learning, not praying for deliverance? Perhaps a better prayer would be for the wisdom and courage to face it head-on and learn from it?
Meister Eckhart, the 13th century German mystic, famously said “If the only prayer you ever say is THANK YOU, that will be enough.” Keeping an "attitude of gratitude’ is a cliche, but I believe this is what is meant by praying constantly.
Perhaps thank God for the challenges you now face instead of attributing them to demons and praying for deliverance? Just a thought.
