SEEK GOD IN PRAYER
Prayer draws the hand of God into a situation. It is the link that connects man to the throne room of God. If you want to know the ways of God in any situation, you must pray and ask Him for direction.
The man Daniel was a man of visions and revelations. He was also a man of prayer. He received his vision and revelation mostly through prayer. A time came when he discovered the set time for the captivity of Israel. He then took it upon himself to seek the face of God in prayer concerning the restoration of Jerusalem. He prayed and God unfolded His plans to Him in a vision. (Daniel 9).
God only reveals His plans to those who ask Him. If you will not ask, you will not receive. Prayer is a means of receiving God’s plans. Speaking through the prophet Jeremiah, God said:
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah 33:3
Every showing must be preceded by a calling. No calling, no showing. The word “shew” means revelation. In this context, it can be called guidance, as He will reveal what you need to do to you. This can only come to you through prayer. This call is resounded all over scriptures. God has been saying it, in case you have not heard: “Call on Me, ask of Me.” So, ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
