He prays to God

He prays to God, and He is favourable to him, so that he sees His face with joy; for [God] restores to him his righteousness (his uprightness and right standing with God - with its joys). Job 33:26 AMP

He makes a choice, He prays to God. The Message Bible puts it this way,

"Or, you may fall on your knees and pray - to God's delight! You'll see God's smile and celebrate, finding yourself set right with God. Job 33:26 The Message

Often in our lives we have to make choices, especially when we are faced with situations we don't like. Our choices are many and varied, such as talking with others, running away, ignoring the situation, confrontation.  

There is one choice God wants us to make. He wants us to pray. God wants us to come before Him, surrender our will and listen and then obey, just as Jesus did at Gethsemane, not once, but at least three times that we know of.

And going a little farther, He threw Himself upon the ground on His face and prayed saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will [not what I desire], but as You will and desire. Matthew 26:39 AMP

Again a second time He went away and prayed, My Father, if this cannot pass by unless I drink it, Your will be done. Matthew 26:42 AMP

So, leaving them again, He went away and prayed for a third time, using the same words. Matthew 26: 44 AMP 

Jesus went away and prayed, and was then able to face something unimaginable to us, and face it with unfathomable grace and strength.

And when they came to the place which is called The Skull [Latin: Calvary; Hebrew: Golgotha], there they crucified Him, and [along with] the criminals, one on the right and one on the left. And Jesus prayed, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Luke 23:33-34 AMP

Again, Jesus prayed, this time not for Himself, but for us.

Question for today, are you facing something that seems insurmountable? Why not take time out today, by yourself, to pray to God, maybe not once, but two or three times? If you don't know what to pray, just start with something simple like, "Here I am Lord, you know all that is going on in my life, please show me what to do." And wait, and listen. You are favourable to Him, because of Jesus sacrifice for you, you are in rightstanding with God. He loves you. He hears your prayers. He will answer you.

With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He hears and answers me out of His holy hill. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! Psalm 3:4 AMP
