Hindrances to Prayer, Part 54 (The Prayer Motivator Devotional #465)

Our prayer motivator verse for today is Luke 11:1 which reads: "And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray."

Our prayer motivator devotional today is part 54 of our series titled "HINDRANCES TO PRAYER" from Dr. John R. Rice.

How to Get the Hindrances Removed

Are your prayers hindered? Well, thank God, there is a remedy. The hindrances can be torn down. Even this very day you may feel again the smile of God's face and hear the whisper of His Spirit and know that there is nothing between you and God.

In John 1:9 we are given this blessed promise, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Confession - that is the remedy for your sin. A Christian does not have to atone for his sins. In fact, no man can possibly atone for his sins. The atonement was completed by Jesus Christ; and thank God, on the cross He cried out, "It is finished"! Let no one, then, think that he must go through a long period of time, trying to earn God's favor and to lay up credit so that his prayers can be answered.
