Hindrances to Prayer, Part 29 (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #440)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Mark 1:35 which reads: "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he [Jesus] went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed."

Our prayer motivator quote today is from an Unknown Author. He said: "If prayers are not answered today, then you'll have the reason to wake up again tomorrow and Pray!"

Our prayer motivator devotional today is part 29 of our series titled "HINDRANCES TO PRAYER" from Dr. John R. Rice.

When Jesus washed the disciples' feet, He said in John 13:10, "He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." He meant that the disciples were already saved and all their sins were under the blood. But Christians walking in a dirty world need day-by-day confession of their defilement that they may have daily forgiveness and cleansing as the dear children of God in order to have His fullness and power and fellowship. The washing of the whole body, which these disciples already had, represents salvation, the forgiveness of all sin. That cleansing is once for all at regeneration. But the washing of the disciples' feet represented that day-by-day cleansing which is offered to Christians who confess and forsake their sins.
