The miracle of prayer

The Miracle of prayer

Bible :2 Chronicles 30:21-27

The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for
their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling-place (V.27)

Have you ever thought of group prayer as a miracle? That thought came to my mind one evening at church after we broke into small prayer groups. As someone in each group prayed, I heard several people talking to God at the same time. It sounded like a jumble of words. But that’s the miracle. God was hearing each prayer—along with millions of others being lifted to Him around
the world in many different languages. I get confused when I’ve got more than one friend messaging me at the same time! I end up sending the wrong message to the wrong person and getting all my conversations in a muddle. It really is amazing that God can give His full attention to all of us at the same time. Think about the story of Hezekiah’s Passover celebration. He told the
Israelit es to join him in Jerusalem for praise and prayer (2 CHRONICLES 30:1). Hugecrowds came for what turned into a two-week-long praise service. All those people rejoiced and praised God at the same time (V.25). As the religious leaders prayed, “their voice was heard; and their prayer came up . . . to heaven” (V.27). The miracle goes on. Today, throughout the world, millions of people are praying to God. Let’s rejoice in knowing that He hears each prayer.

He hears every prayer.
