Relationship Praying

In business, "Relationship Selling" is a primary key to success, to getting what we want. That means that before asking for the sale, we should have a solid working relationship with the prospect. We do not just walk up to a stranger (or even a past buyer) out of the blue and try to make a sale. It doesn't work. That’s exactly how a lot of folks pray, however. I know a young man who wouldn’t give God the time of day. He never prayed or went to church. But when his father was dying of cancer, he demanded a miracle; angry and scared, he challenged God. When his father died, the young man turned away from God again. He was only in it to make the sale, so to speak, and didn’t care a whole lot about God. My point: No, I do not know God’s plan, and I am not saying that the father would have lived if his son had spent more time talking to God and building a relationship with Him. I am saying, however, that those of us who do engage in ongoing, daily “relationship praying” do tend to understand and accept God’s will … and on a more than now-and-then basis, do get a fair share of miracles. Most of all, we get to know God on a very personal basis, and that’s pretty sweet. So, take a few minutes today for a God chat. Nothing fancy; maybe even just a “Hey, God, thanks for this day. Oh, and let me know if You need anything.” "But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.” -Martha (sister of Mary and Lazarus, after her brother’s death) John 11:22
