Do you need mercy? Do you need help? Do you need wisdom? What do you need? Well, why don’t you go to Him? Tell Him what your problem is. Have you done that? Have you laid out your problem before Him? Have you asked Him to intervene in your behalf and to work it out according to His will? And, by the way, He will work it out according to His will, not yours. Prayer is not to persuade God to do something that He didn’t intend to do. Prayer is for you and me to get in line with the program of God. And, therefore, He’s there today. And we can obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
