0:43 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. How to pray when you don't have this drink to pray and that is when you realize that prayer is not a ritual. That is when you realize that God is not a mad God. God is not an angry figure. God is not a person who's filled with rule bugs and saying I will answer your prayers, or I will meet your niece, or I will do this or do that in your life, or bless you or protect you or watch over you or whatever. Only if you pray buy my formila. That's when you realize that God is your dad.

1:31 That's when you realize that you know it's all about the heart connector between you and your creator. When you understand that God is your dad, you are opened before him. When you understand God is your dad, you talk to him. And if you can't talk, what you do pour out. The other day, I was feeling so overwhelmed about something and

2:05 I just started crying. And I I mean like it was just at home and and I was like, what is it? I want to help you, tell me what is it? And I just couldn't tell him. I was just oh, and then I started crying. He was not like, you're stupid for crying. No, you know what I'm trying to tell you is if you're if you can just cry out to an earthly dad, cry out to your heavenly dad. Just cry you want to cry. Cry. That's what I shared even in one of my recent segments also about how we see in First Samuel, Hannah was not just praying.

2:49 The Bible says that she cried. When you look at even Your Second King, chapter twenty, when Zekaiah got the word that he was about to die, the Bible says, he prayed and he vet he wept bitterly. I'm telling you something. To your saints of God. You want to cry, cry, but people are like, I need to be strong. No, just because you cry doesn't mean that you're not strong in your faith. Just because you're trained to be a soldier doesn't mean you'll never get tired. There will be battle fatigues, there will be moments when you grow weary.

3:25 There will be moments when you're tired and exhausted. What do you do during such times? I want to tell you something that I do, and that's from the scripture. And you look at Exodus chapter two, verse twenty four, and then come to the next verse. It says God heard they're groaning, and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. God heard they're groaning. Now I want to say this again. When you look at Exodus chapter six, verse five, my God is giving this word. I've heard they're groaning.

4:13 I heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. And when you have to remember something, they didn't have the strength to pray, but you realize that they've grown moved God's thrown. You're grown, will move God's thrown. You don't have strength to pray, just grown. That's a prayer in itself. I know some of us are in a place where you're like, oh, come on, you know, I don't understand that. That's what the Bible says. That girl, God hurt.

5:00 They're grown and he came here because he wanted to rescue them. Don't have strength to pray, just grown, just grown. And I'm telling you, the Saints of God, that's the beauty of a god. He's not expecting you to go by a rule book. He's not expecting you to follow all the formila. He's expecting you to just be yourself before him. If you feel like crying, cry, you feel like groaning. Grown And I'm telling you, when you're just grown, you're releasing that and you will see the sigh of relief. You know why, because that's a prayer in itself.

5:40 There's the difference. Simply crying is not going to solve right Like you cry to the Lord, say you're just grown to the Lord,

5:50 and I'm telling you you will see that strength. You will see because when you pray, God will and God will strengthen you. God will help you. God will show up in your life. You will see an output when you pray, and that prayer includes when you pray a grown male.

6:16 Today. My challenge is when you don't have strength, don't pressure yourself to just put words. Don't get into more mental blocks because of that. If you can growan remember just grown into the lawyer, just grown. I want you to do that as I'm telling you, because you see you're releasing and you're just praying to the lawyer. And when you're grown, you're moving God's throne and your life will never be the same. For right now, God, I pray that this word will go forth in strengthen those who are weak.

7:01 They don't have strength to pray God, they don't have strength. When they don't have strength to a Lord, I pray that you will show forth and you will hear their grown. Like you heard the groan of the Israelites in the book of Exodus, you will hear the groan of your people. You will come out those are crying and weeping. I pray that you will turn the sorrow into joy, that they will see the God who answers prayers. That the prayers will fail much because they are the righteousness of God in Christ.

8:57 And this is not a message condemnation. This is a message of hope. There is a God who loves you so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to come down and pay a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on the cross. Thank you for dying for my sins. When you believe in him, you have free gift of salvation for you that assures us that we will go to Heaven when we die instead of suffering in hell forever. I just encourage you today to make the simple step of it and say, Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross.

9:38 Thank you for giving me this gift of eternal life.
