"I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you." Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
Dr. George Washington Carver overcame racial prejudice and became and educator, scientist, and inventor who was honored by the U.S. Congress. He was also a follower of Christ. And here's what he had to say about prayer: "My prayers seem to be more of an attitude than anything else. I indulge in very little lip service, but ask the Great Creator silently, daily, and often many times a day to permit me to speak to Him...I ask Him...to give me wisdom, understanding, and bodily strength to do His will; hence I am asking and receiving all the time." Carver gave the world many inventions and was most famous for what he could do with a peanut. He stood on the truth of these Scriptures: "I will go before you and make the crooked places straight" (Isa 45:2 NKJV). "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" (Jer 33:3 NKJV). "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" (Isa 41:10 NKJV). Pay particular attention to Carver's word: "I am asking and receiving all the time." Prayer was not his last resort, but his first choice. To him, it was more than religious ritual; it was a means of constant communication with God he loved, sometimes talking and sometimes listening, but at all times sensitive to and aware of the presence of God. And daily prayer should be that for you too.
