David Platt – Confidence – Will We Trust Him? (…how does prayer work?)

David Platt:

Prayer is really more, designed to be more than just this thing where we ask God for things. We need to explore some of the depths of what prayer is instead of just settling for that.

Primary purpose for prayer is to:

1. express the depth of our need for God
2. explore the mystery of intimacy with Him
3. experience the power of being used by Him

The power of prayer in and of itself is useless, but the power of people who connect with all mighty God is unstoppable!

Desire is the secret of Prayer:

1. Make your wants God’s wants and
2. then ask for whatever you want

That’s how prayer WORKS.

Luke 11:5

5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
