The Problem With How You’ve Been Praying

Most prayer, without anyone deciding this on purpose, ends up operating like a request line. Something is wrong, so you call it in and wait for someone with more authority to handle it. That’s not wrong exactly — but it quietly assumes you don’t have any authority of your own in the situation, only access to Someone who does.

That assumption is worth examining, because it isn’t actually how Scripture describes dominion. Dominion was never framed as something you wait to be given in the moment you need it. It was given once, at the beginning, as a standing grant — not a favor dispensed case by case.

If that’s true, the question isn’t “will God act?” It’s “what have I already been given that I haven’t been using?”
