I didn’t say God can’t work for our good without prayer. I am saying that’s what this passage is teaching. God tells you to not be in strife with your spouse in Peter’s epistles or your prayers will be hindered. Does that mean God in His mercy can’t respond to you in prayer ever, if you’ve had an argument with your spouse? God shows us the best way to live. Not the exception to the best way. As for rest, rest is not inactivity. It is Spirit directed activity. Joseph was also under a different Covenant. All the things God did was based on His mercy alone because no one can keep the Law perfectly. <br /> God giving us instructions on how to live victoriously is not anti-Grace.

If God can work for good only if there is a spirit directed prayer, hoe can we be at rest unless we have it for sure? In the life of Joseph, did the bible reveal it for prayer? We can assume it but was it mentioned somewhere?Lazarus Lauwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15367333358450956220noreply@blogger.com
