Three times God told Jeremiah “do not pray” for the people (Jeremiah 7:16, 11:14, 14:11). Have you ever heard this? How does this command from God sit with you? It really depends on your understanding of God.
If you believe that God does not exist, then it does not matter to you. If you believer that God is not involved in our lives, then you are similar to the atheist who does not believe that God exists. I am not like these people. I believe God created all things, nothing holds together without God’s active involvement, God is supremely powerful, God knows all things and that He is everywhere. I am in desperate need of God working in my life. There are too many things out of my control. I have too little influence on things that really matter.
To have God say, “do not pray” because He will not listen is the worst that can happen. If God does not intervene in my life, He if is not active, then I am lost. Do you understand the importance of God saying, “do not pray”, or have you never really thought about it? Maybe you shoud.
