There are "Young Prayers" - those you pray to pass a test in school...when you go to a job interview...when you're searching for a parking space at Walmart.

There are "Middle-Aged Prayers" - those you pray when you need God to help you save enough money to buy a car...to help you make it all the way to graduation from college...to restore you to complete health after surgery.

But in this message, our focus is on the third category. What's an "OLD PRAYER?"

It's one you've been praying for a long, long, looooong time.

It's praying for a wayward child or grandchild to come back to the LORD...asking God to keep cancer from returning...petitioning Him to help you eat right and exercise right for the rest of your life...calling on Him to rejuvenate a bad marriage...begging Him to deliver you from your addiction...asking Him to transform your character flaws...calling on God to turn our country around before it's too late.

So. Have you been praying any "OLD PRAYERS?" Long about year ten it's easy to get discouraged, isn't it?

Is it possible to get one of those answered? Sure. God can do anything, any time. But is there something you can do to hurry that miraculous intervention along?

Maybe! ;-)

That's what we're going to God's Word right now to find out.
