Don't be confused prayer does not turn God into your magic genie. My brothers in the faith, our Father in heaven wants to hear from us! When men pray, things happen, and the Lord can move on our behalf. David, although a warrior in battle, was also one in prayer, and in a sense, journaled these prayers for us to read them. In James 5:17, Elijah is described as "a man with a nature like us" that prayed earnestly, and the Lord heard him. Even against the King's wishes, he set time apart to pray to the Lord. What if men took prayer seriously? What if we committed to it like we commit to fantasy football or our golf swing? What if we were as into it as the release of the new retro Js? Although our Christian society has attributed prayer to great women of our faith, the bible gives us countless examples of men of prayer. It's an attribute commonly associated to women of the faith. Normally, when we think of praying, we link it to a praying mother or grandmother.
I want to play the devil's advocate here a little bit. In the film, we see an amazing wife praying for and covering her family, and especially her husband, as she's trained by an older woman.
If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and do so! In the film, we see the power of prayer played out. Here's a shameless plug for the movie War Room. I've discovered a painful truth while sharing life with fellow men of the faith prayer is a real struggle! As a husband, who, among other things, has been called to be the priest of my home, I've seen how this struggle can play out.
