Good morning beloved
Let's talk about Prayer today, you know there are thousands of messages one could build on this topic and still there would be more.
Prayer such a wonderful way God made for us to be able to talk to him anywhere and anytime. Even if surrounded by multitudes, restricted physically, inundated by circumstances, overcome by grief, experiencing sudden unexpected tragedy we can still whisper a prayer and God hears the cry of our heart.
What a privilege to take everything to God in prayer?
I will share that song and the words below
But I just want to remind you of these
1 Who can come into God’s presence?
Psalm 24
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully
Amen
2 Perhaps we should listen to God during those quiet times more than we demand of or talk "at" him
3 Why unanswered prayers?
Are we asking amiss?
James 4:3
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures
May God reveal to us our true heart conditions and purify our motives for asking
Do you know God already knows our need before we even ask him?
4 It is good to give God the first fruit of the day
Just to set the tone for the day in Worship and adoration of him, abiding in his presence and established in his love. Listening to him, being led and guided by him. Receiving strategy to overcome in each day
No better place to be than in his presence
Amen
5 Prayer, Thankgiving, Praise and Worship are wonderful seeds sown that can only bear a good fruit.
6 Dearly beloved sometimes we can pray the "Prayer God is good, God is great, let us thank him for our food. Amen
Or like Mary - let it be unto me according to your word.
Short prayers can be prayed, but it should not be the order of the day, we really need to "tarry" in God’s presence.....waiting, praying, waiting....truly that is what is required for anyone who makes intercession or does Spiritual Warfare.
Wait in God’s presence
Amen
It's now time to share that song and the words
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Amen
Pray my friends Pray
Pray without ceasing
Amen
