those times. Many become bitter or re-gretful toward such a
reaction from God, and leave the church.
The prayer of the body deals with an important aspect of
our lives, but it rarely gets an-swered. It is because the needs
of the flesh are asked with passions of the flesh. People
do not possess a correct understanding in not asking with
the passions of the flesh. The passion here is referring to a
worldly manner. Asking in accordance with God’s will is
not asking for passions of the flesh. As stated by Apostle
John, the worldly things are “the cravings of sinful man, the
lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does.”
(John 2:16) Not receiving, in spite of asking, is due to asking
through the worldly passions.
A person who ends a prayer session in a prayer of the body
do not even know who we are praying to. That person does
not even know what a prayer is. It’s as if an entire day was
just spent on “spacing out”. As “spacing out” requires an
object of interaction, that person chose God to “space out”.
The person in that type of prayer does not notice God, nor
does God take notice of him. That type of prayer reflects a
bitter, tough and tiresome life. It is because there is no one to
help.
