I wish. ( James 4 v 2 - 3 )

Sorry to say we don't have a good fairy who will grant us three wishes, most people at some time or other make a wish, if you go to the Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland, there is what is called the wishing seat. If you see a shooting star you can make a wish, or if you see a rainbow ,or if you blow out birthday candles, or if ,so it can go on. Some  people wish they had never been born, or when they are running a marathon ,say I wish I had never started this, or I wish I , and so it goes on. The thing is ,wishing will not change any thing, it cannot change the past, present or the future. For some people wishing is like  a substitute for prayer, but its not, prayer is borne out a relationship with God through Christ. There is so much one could say as regards prayer, but one thing is clear it is not about wishing. As a Christian I know God hears and answers prayer, but it must be in accordance with Gods will ( 1 John 5 v 14 ). If it is not according to Gods will, it will not be good for us, Father God knows best, so stop your wishing ,and pray to  God to hears and answers prayer.
