 This theology can be summarized by the following two lines: learn to accept the things you cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference. The scripture says to pray without ceasing, so the Psalmist, in talking about prayer, says that he actually made himself sick seeking God. From calling out to God, he complained of his parched throat. He had irritated his throat and was worn out.In another passage, the psalmist talks about how he was physically weak and frail, and how he had lost so much weight that he had become physically weak. He talks about how he sought God night and day, in the morning and evening, and how he would meditate on God's word when he woke up. he called to God over and over again. in order to receive what he wants from God, he needs to go before Him and make his case, presenting evidence. But he has also learned that sometimes he needs to defend himself and explain why he deserves God's help. Prayer is not about trying to act independently of God or trying to create our own little religious or political kingdom. Prayer is about aligning ourselves with God's will and learning how to use the talents we have in an artistic way to argue our case. Prayer is also about getting answers from God and being the answer. So prayer is about spreading our blessing and curse before God, or it is about filling our mouths with prosecuting pleas and defensive language. more than simply reciting positive statements about what God has promised us. The old reformers were right to call it "pleading the promises of God," but we should also be careful not to assume that prayer is only about affirmation and positive thinking. In fact, sometimes it can be important to remember that curses still exist and that we need to balance our humanity and our spirituality in a proper way. I believe that the Jews had a better understanding of this than the Gentiles did, and that this is why they were better able to integrate their spirituality into their daily lives. Prayer is a means of approaching God and requesting assistance with the challenges of abuse and hate. God is more focused on our wellbeing than anything else, and if we permit ourselves to be maltreated or to settle for a lower standard of respect, God will intervene. Prayer is a means of combating our adversaries, and in prayer we are attempting to defeat all opposition. This is the way the old reformers used to say that we need to have this confession on our lips when we die. Prayer is a way of struggling with God and emerging victorious.There is a lot of truth to the old saying that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince. The same principle applies when it comes to finding a life partner. You have to go through a lot of bad relationships and experiences to find the one that is right for you. God has made it so that we are resistant to blood. He has said that even the bad situations, the bad people, and the evil self-images that we are forced to endure are only stepping stones to something that is too wonderful for us to imagine. I have extensive experience with this type of situation. I have been through many difficult trials and challenges in my life, and I have learned that they only last for a moment. After we have wrestled with God for many years and overcome them, we can look back and see how far we have come. The bible talks about a soldier who is in the enemy camp and has been taken captive who longs to stand over that enemy and gloat. This is what it means to triumph. It's about wrestling with God until we pin the enemy. But this is not your average praying. This is a learned art. I am talking about years of wrestling with spiritual blood and physical sweat and tears.This person is like a soldier who has gone through long hours of training and has experience in wars and battles. Therefore, they begin to trust him as a general or army commander. This man knows how to argue in front of the throne and has many examples of overcoming. Therefore, the prayer of the righteous is very effective. The righteous man may look ineffectual and weak, but in the spiritual realm he is extremely dangerous because he has a vision of what the contemplation of God looks like. This man wants peace.
