Mathematical Praying

I was never very good at mathematics and I have embarrassing academic transcripts to prove it. Last week I discovered mathematical praying. I’m not sure it will improve my mathematical skills, but it sure enhanced my prayer life. I was in the final stages of preparing to speak to a group of students who were in a three-day orientation time before leading revival meetings during the summer. I was asking God for anointing as I polished my notes one final time before actually speaking. As I thought about their overall orientation and my small part of it, I asked God to allow my presentation to ADD to their training and not SUBTRACT from it. Then I found myself asking God to guide me in “rightly DIVIDING the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15) in such a way as to MULTIPLY their summer ministry. I challenge you to practice mathematical praying this week. Now if I could just master the Pythagorean Theorem!
