I love Pastor Piper’s explanation for our weakness in prayer. We cannot be the fruit bearers that God has called us to be (176-177) nor can we fulfill the mission of love that He has called us to do (178-179) without God enabling power.
If God answers your prayer, what are you going to do with the answer? What am I determined to do with what I may receive from God? Piper says that prayer is the fuel of our mission. In teaching on prayer, he asked a question that cut me to the core. Allen Ross led a Bible conference at our church on The Psalms. I think these thoughts on adultery with the world (164), and the thoughts on being on mission in prayer (177), are two sides of the same coin.
In prayer, I must not only avoid being adulteress, but I also must be on mission.
