A
reminder for today
But
when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your
Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you. (Matthew
6:6)
How often do you pray? And when you do is it a private
conversation between you and the Father? Prayer is our strongest weapon in our
fight against the unseen forces of darkness. It is our strength against the temptation
and desires that this world so often pushes in our way. It is how we take a
stand and unite ourselves against the enemy that seeks to devour us and destroy
us. Prayer is the “direct line” to God. It is the way that we communicate
verbally and silently with God. Prayers that are said from faithful
stewards are always heard and answered by God. If you don’t pray often, I
encourage you to start praying on a daily basis. When you are
communicating with God, you are utilizing a “life-line”.
“Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians
5:17) As God’s children, we need to uplift each other in prayer, and also
pray for all of the other blessings and trials that are in our lives.
This verse is truly inspiring because there is always something to pray about,
whether it is driving home safely from work, having a romantic evening with
your spouse or uplifting our leaders of the government in prayer. There
is never a second that goes by where we shouldn’t be able to think of something
or someone to pray for.
Prayer is a must for anyone who believes in God.
Prayer connects us to God. We are commanded to pray unceasingly and our
prayers are indeed powerful. Whatever is in your life, whether it be
blessings or trials, give them all to God in prayer. To me prayer is an
intimate time that I spend with God sharing my joy and my pain with Him. It is
a time where I talk to Him about my problems and the challenges that I face. It
is also a time where we bring other to God in prayer. Lift up those you love
and your enemies. You will see God’s handy-work when you pray.
Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May
your Kingdom come soon. May your will be
done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive
us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don't let us
yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. In Jesus Name.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
