In the story of the centurion and Jesus in Matthew 8, the centurion says he is not worthy to have Jesus in his home but that he understands that Jesus has sufficient “command” over the situation to heal a dying man from a distance.

In fact neither time nor distance were or are obstacles for Jesus.  He is the commander and lord of them. 

This means that the requests (prayer means to ask something from an authority…) we make are not bound by time and space the way we appear to be.   I say appear because we are 1. eternal beings (whether we like it or not) and 2.  we have access to a powerful friend.

What do you ask a man who can save the world?

What do you ask Him today?
