A Club We Are All Born Into!

King David said, "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer." Psalm 66:18-19

Sin is one of those things we don't like to think about or talk about. We don't want to admit the fact that there is something that separates us from God. Instead, we'd rather pretend that no matter what we do, God will always listen to us and answer us — exactly the way we want.

The problem is that with sin in our lives, there's a disconnect!

As a result of that gap, we often come to a point where we think God is apathetic about our situation. Or we think he doesn't care, because he's not answering us the way we want. When the reality is that we have grown apathetic in our relationship with him.

If you're in a position where you've turned to God in prayer but there still seems to be something missing, take a moment to look at your life. Is there something separating you from God?

Is there a situation in your life where you've fallen short of his standard? Most likely, the answer is yes. But the good news is that Christ has done the work to fix the problem.

Now what?

Through Christ we can experience the fullness of what God intends for us...so go ahead...pray!
