Reflection: “Overthinking and Under-praying”
Taken from Daily Wisdom for Men
Psalm 37:4 “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
The last part of that verse is so nice, the first part is so hard.
In this psalm, many prayers are answered, yet the word prayer is never mentioned. We are told to “commit”, to “wait”, to “delight in” the Lord, and then He will give us “the desires of our heart”, He will “make your righteous reward shine” (Psalm 37:6). But the word pray is nowhere to be found.
Psalm 37 treats the process of shedding all delights other than the Lord Himself as the process of prayer. Because it’s answered. It’s the commitment to the Lord, the delighting in, the waiting for, that is answered.
Prayer is the expression of desire for our spirit’s Father to work His will in ways we cannot. We should love what our Father loves, delight in what He delights in. That process is, prayer. And it will be answered.
