Prayer

It's been said that prayer is the most powerful weapon mankind can ever use. It is more powerful than lightning, and even more powerful than a nuclear bomb or missile.

Isn’t that amazing?

God has given us access to Him – complete, total access – through Christ. He has opened the door of communication, that we can have intimate communion with Him.

Wow.

And yet how many times have we put off our prayer time, putting it at the end of our to-do list of the day – maybe even skip it?

I know I’ve done it. Many times.

I would feel the need to get down on my knees and talk with my Creator, my Friend, but I let other less important things consume my time.

It’s awful that we put prayer as something to do now and then – maybe when we need something, or you feel guilty because you’ve neglected that special time with the Lord.

Guilt-ridden prayer time will hinder communion with God. We need to make prayer an everyday part of life – something we can’t do without, because we acknowledge that we can’t do anything without the Lord. Spend time thanking Him for all He’s doing right now. Bask in His presence and tell Him you love Him. Just worship and let his peace wash over you, and then make your requests known.

It is crucial that when we come to Him in prayer we come believing. Having faith that God hears and He will answer. Never doubt what our God can do. He is mighty. He is everlasting.

Cannot the God who created the entire universe heal your broken spirit? Cannot the God who came down and died for all the sins of mankind also take total control of your life?

Just let God move. It may not be the way you want Him to move, but always remember this: God knows best. Put your trust in Him.

Prayer brings you to an intimate communion with God that you can never feel anywhere else. When you are down on your knees, you are before the throne of God.

Stay blessed.
