Do you have a phone number you have memorized? Mine was my grandparent’s phone number, 363-3009. They have been dead for several years now. I have not used that number for a long time, but I still know their old number. Many people today do not memorize phone , numbers much, we often store them in our phones. Keith Park once asked, “Have you memorized God’s phone number? 3-3-3. Jeremiah 33:3, God said, “Call to me and I will answer you.” Prayer is calling up God and talking to Him. When we call God He always answers and always answers on His timetable. Sometimes God answers prayers with a “no,” “yes,” or “maybe later.” But have you ever asked the question why do we pray? James 5:16 :answers this. “The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it i~ 1 1 • working.”There are just some things that will not happen unless the righteous person prays. iwill you spend time in prayer? Remember God’s phone number: 3-3-3. (Jer. 33:3, call on God and He will answer).
