Why do we pray

Labels:

Our inspiration to pray comes from Jesus because, though he was God in human form, he still prayed. God has given us access to his inheritance, and that can be obtained through dedication and prayer. Jesus taught us how to pray to our father in Matthew 6:9–14, and this gives us confidence that whatever we ask of God, according to his will, will be given to us.

We pray because it is the means by which we communicate with our Creator. When a phone's battery is completely depleted, it is rendered useless and powerless. When you connect it to the charger, however, it regains its strength and functionality.

To strengthen our relationship with God, we prayer. Without God's presence, we are empty vessels and we waste our lives. We require him on a daily basis; this is how we re-establish contact with him and strengthen our bond. He brings us back to life when we have lost all of our strength. Prayer doesn't only strengthen us, but it also gives us the courage to face the challenges of life.

There is nothing we can't handle together when we have the creator of the heavens, the earth, and everything on it on our side.

1 Chronicles 16:11 in the Bible encourages us to look to the Lord and his strength, and to seek his face at all times.

The Bible says in Luke 18:1, "Jesus told his disciples a parable that they should always pray without giving up." That is, even if our prayers go unanswered at times, we should never give up praying because God hears us. 

We cannot strengthen our relationship with God unless we spend time in prayer. As a result, no one should stop praying and claim that "God isn't answering my prayers."

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Warning from God: Take your calling very seriously!!!

Imagine the consequences if Jesus Christ had not embraced the mission on earth that he was given by the father (John 6:38). Imagine what could have happened to millions of souls. Consider what could have happened to the Israelites if Moses had never taken his calling seriously when God called him to deliver the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 3:10).  God has invested something in you, and it takes you to pray and discover what he has invested in you. Some of you God gave you the anointing of healing, but you aren’t even aware. Millions of souls are lost out there, and this situation requires you and me to take our calling very seriously. So many people are dying in hospitals from cancer, diabetes, and other diseases, while you are ignoring doing the will of the father, and you expect things to go well with you. Certainly, not everyone is destined for the same path, as God has assigned us various missions and duties. The key here is to discover your true identity. When you don't take ...

Wait upon the LORD

  Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...
