Prayer
Do you pray?
1Th 5:17 Pray
without ceasing.
Luk 18:1 And
he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and
not to faint
Luk 18:2
Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded
man:
Luk 18:3 And
there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of
mine adversary.
Luk 18:4 And
he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear
not God, nor regard man;
Luk 18:5 Yet
because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual
coming she weary me.
Luk 18:6 And
the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Luk 18:7 And
shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he
bear long with them?
Luk 18:8 I
tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man
cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Always pray. A widow
constantly seeking justice for herself was granted that justice because she
sought after it endlessly. God wants to
help us, He wants to listen to us. Those
who are God's will *cry* to him day and night.
That cry is through prayer.
Luk 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Rom 12:12
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer
Eph 6:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints
Col 4:2
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving
1Pe 4:7 But
the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer
PRAY!
I can't help it this
is on my mind endlessly it would seem--
Php 4:6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And
the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
God is trying to
impress this upon me and by HIS grace it will happen. I need to go to him for
all things, not just the things I deem prayer worthy. Are we guilty of seeking God more when we are
confronted with problems? Do we seek Him less when things are going well in our
lives? Is it more normal to cry out than to praise? We are to make requests of God, we are to use
supplication with our God, and we are to THANK God. All of these- prayer, supplication,
thanksgiving- our requests.
We need God's peace
which will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!
Is your heart and
mind kept by God's peace? Think about that, how wonderful it must be.
Please, Lord, please
we cry out to you, we entreat you, we thank you! Let your peace KEEP our hearts and
minds! We can't keep our heart and mind
by ourselves. Is it any wonder we have so much trouble with our minds and
hearts? We are way too busy trying to keep them ourselves.
More on this
tomorrow by the GRACE and WILL of our LORD JESUS CHRIST! Please, Lord, please!
Save us from ourselves! Thank you!
