J. I. Packer On Prayer

J. I. Packer On Prayer

Have you ever thought that your prayers just aren’t worded good enough to really hit the mark? Do feelings of not praying good enough nag at you? No matter how long we’ve been working on our prayer life, these kinds of thoughts and feelings can show up from time to time. The late theologian J. I. Packer, along with Carolyn Nystrom, wrote a helpful insight along these lines saying this: “God fixes our prayers on the way up. If he does not answer the prayer we made, he will answer the prayer we should have made. That is all anyone needs to know.” Friend, don’t worry if you don’t have all the right words. Pray sincerely from your heart, and be confident that when you do, God fixes them on the way up. Now that’s something to pray about!
