Just thinking about some prayer requests I have seen lately. Sounded like they think God is waiting around for someone to pray before he decides to get involved, like a genie in a magic lamp, or like He does not know what is going on until someone wakes Him up with a prayer request.
Somehow, I think the sovereign God knows what is going on...good and bad. And he intervenes when it serves His purpose...which purpose is always good, in my opinion.
"I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me...I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." (Isaiah 45:5-7)
