The most remarkable thing about Prayer is that we human beings have been invited into God's presence to fellowship with Him. Further, we've been told to ask freely of our heavenly Father for all our needs (Matthew 7:7; John 16:24). We have been given an incredible, truly unbelievable, magnificent gift in Prayer. That's what makes it so amazing that so many Christians live and die without knowing about and using this gift. How do they do it? To live without daily communion with God through Prayer. Don't let this happen to you. You have all the resources of God available to you. Use them frequently and wisely. Today thank God for His unspeakable gift of Prayer. -- N.Harrison /////////////////////// Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things, the simplest and the sublimest; the weakest and the most powerful. Its results lie outside the range of human possibilities -- they are limited only by the omnipotence of God. Few Christians have anything but a vague idea of the power of Prayer. Fewer still have any experience of that power. Sometime the Church seems almost wholly unaware of the power God has given her. This spiritual blank check on the infinite resources of God's wisdom and power is rarely, if ever, used, and never used to the full measure of honoring God. Prayer is our most formidable weapon, and yet the one in which we are the least skilled and the most reluctant to use. -- E.M.Bounds /////////////////////// Prayer, when we think of it, and perform it aright, -- Prayer is a magnificent thing -- and a venturesome, -- for any man to do. For Prayer builds, and fits out, and mans, and launches a frail vessel of faith on the deep and wide sea of God's sovereignty: and sets her sails for a harbor nothing short of heaven. -- A.Whyte /////////////////////// -- Isaiah 56:7 ++ these I will bring to My holy mountain and give them joy in My House of Prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house will be called a House of Prayer for all nations. (Mal. 1:11; Mat.21:13; John 4:23; Rom. 12:1; Heb.13:15; 1 Pet. 2:5; Tim. 2:8)
-- Romans 12:12 + Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in Prayer. -- Matthew 7:7-8 + 7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. + 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. -- John 16:24 + Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. -- Jude 1:20 + But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and Pray in the Holy Spirit. -- Ephesians 1:16-19 + 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my Prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. 18 I Pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength. -- Philemon 1:6 + I Pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. -- Colossians 4:2-4 + 2 Devote yourselves to Prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And Pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. -- James 5:13-16 + 13 Are any among you suffering? They should Pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise. ++ 14 Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them Pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 The Prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up; and anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. ++ 16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and Pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The Prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective. -- Luke 2:37 + And then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, Fasting and Praying. -- Mark 9:29 + So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but Prayer and Fasting." -- Matthew 6:9-13 + 9 This, then, is how you should Pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, 10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 Forgive us our debts (sins), as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." /////////////////////// -- Psalms 66:18-20 + 18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; 19 but God has surely listened and heard my voice in Prayer. 20 Praise be to God, who has not rejected my Prayer or withheld His love from me! -- Psalms 145:18-19 + 18 The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. 19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them. -- Isaiah 55:6-9 + 6 Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. +++ 8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. 9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts." -- 2 Chronicles 7:14 + If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and Pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. /////////////////////// -- Hebrews 4:14-16 + 14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. + 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
