#soap # Isaiah 65 ## Title: The Purpose of Prayer ## Scripture: (Isaiah 65:24) “Before they even call out, I will respond; while they are still speaking, I will hear.” (NET) ## Observation: Prayer can seem pointless sometimes. We cannot see God face-to-face. We are not certain He is listening. How can we know God will help us in our time of need? Because He said He would. If God can create the world, He is able. If God would be willing to step into time and space, live a sinless life, and die on a Cross for our sins; He is willing. Actually, according to this Scripture, before we even pray the answer is on the way. So, go ahead and pray. But, this time pray as though the answer is already on the way. No matter what the answer is, we know it is the best. ## Application: Trust God and bring Him everything. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for the opportunity to pray.
