We wonder why Christians are so anemic and powerless...We don't pray as we should. Children, teenagers, are not introduced to prayer as a lifestyle. Resulting in a selfish lifestyle that shorts out like a wire with a break in it. Jesus instructed us to pray and not quit. Luke 18:1.
"Pray this way...": Praying to our father. Are you a part of the family of God? (John 3:15-18). Praying like you know God is in control. Submitting to His will. Pray, giving Him the honor and glory not only to receive; bread, milk, and a cool spouse. Rather the result being God receiving the applause, glory and honor!
Jesus said; while asking, seeking and knocking, pray like a citizen of His kingdom under His Divine authority and government. We are to ask for forgiveness- Our spiritual position is much more important than our physical one.
So it's a conversation with God, not a wish list to Santa Clause. Do not worry He understands; Swahili, Norwegian, German and Dutch, Spanish, Asian, English.
You can have confidence in prayer: Hebrews 4:12-16.
You can have fellowship through prayer. John 15:1-8.
Paul said for us to be praying always, being watchful (expecting), with all perseverance. That's exciting!
Read: Matthew6:9-13, Psalm 27:7-14.
Encouragements from Tim to travel life's journey together guided by the light of God's Word!
