16 Be joyful always;
17 Pray without ceasing;
18 Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not put out the Spirit’s fire;
20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt.
21 Test everything. Hold on to the good.

25 Beloved, Pray for us.
When You Pray =
/
1. At the close of the day, when you kneel to Pray, /
Will you remember me? /
I need help every day, this is why I Pray, /
Will you remember me? /
/
When you Pray, will you Pray for me, /
For I need His love and His care. /
When you Pray, will you Pray for me, /
Will you whisper my name in your Prayer? /
/
2. At the close of the day, when I kneel to Pray, /
I will remember you. /
You need help every day, this is why I Pray, /
And I will remember you. /
/
When I Pray, I will Pray for you, /
For you need His love and His care. /
When I Pray, I will Pray for you, /
I will whisper your name in my Prayer. /

-- 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...
Pray…At All Times =
/
When we’re in need of guidance /
Through times we cannot see /
Just where we are heading /
Or where we ought to be /
/
When we need more faith /
Through times that we doubt /
For those times when we question /
What life is all about /
/
When we’re in need of comfort /
Through times of so much grief /
Those times when our hearts ache /
And we have so many needs /
/
When we need a friend /
Through times when we’re lonely /
Those times when there’s no one /
Just God and us only /
/
When we need more power /
For those times we’re attacked /
The struggle with temptation /
Is one of Satan’s traps /
/
When we have His blessings /
Abundant in our lives /
When things are going well /
And doors open wide /
/
Through all of these times /
In life that we go through /
One thing is very certain /
In what we all should do /
/
That we should never cease /
From a lifetime of Prayer /
For Praying opens heaven’s doors /
And causes us to hear /
/
What God wants to say to us /
And the things He longs to show /
So we can walk in His perfect will /
Wherever we shall go /
/
-- M.S.Lowndes
+*+*+*+*+*+*+
-- Romans 12:12 =
Be joyful in hope, Patient in affliction, Faithful in Prayer.
Pray In The Battle =
/
I know Lord I don’t always try /
And sometimes I don’t even care /
I often let the worries of this world /
Become a heavy burden to bear /
/
I know at times I do not react /
The way that I know I should /
Instead my feelings rule my tongue /
And I’m often misunderstood /
/
I get so sick of constantly repeating /
The same failures day after day /
I feel so worn down by the constant battle /
Maybe I should give up and ‘Pray’ /
/
Does this sound at all familiar? /
Are life’s hassles wearing you out? /
Do you remember to stop and Pray? /
So faith can replace your doubt /
/
God never said that it would be easy /
But He did say He’d always be there /
We need to stop battling on our own /
And give it over in Prayer /
/
Prayer is so needful in our lives /
Constantly, throughout the day /
When we are faced with spiritual battles /
We should never forget to Pray /
/
It’s so important to commit each day /
Into the care of the Lord /
So we can walk more victoriously /
Than how we had walked before /
/
The enemy tries to get a foothold /
In every little way he can /
We must be aware of his evil tactics /
And refuse to give in to his plans /
/
For we have Christ Jesus in our lives /
And the power to overcome /
As we keep Praying and standing firm /
All our battles shall be won /
/
-- M.S.Lowndes

-- Matthew 26:41 (Mark 14:38) =
Watch and Pray so that you will not fall into temptation. /
The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.
-- Ephesians 6:16-18 =
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
18 And Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of Prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on Praying for all the saints (for all believers everywhere).
Sweet Hour Of Prayer! =
/
1. Sweet hour of Prayer! sweet hour of Prayer! /
That calls me from a world of care, /
And bids me at my Father’s throne /
Make all my wants and wishes known. /
In seasons of distress and grief, /
My soul has often found relief /
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare /
By thy return, sweet hour of Prayer! /
/
2. Sweet hour of Prayer! sweet hour of Prayer! /
Thy wings shall my petition bear /
To Him whose truth and faithfulness /
Engage the waiting soul to bless. /
And since He bids me seek His face, /
Believe His Word and trust His grace, /
I’ll cast on Him my every care, /
And wait for thee, sweet hour of Prayer! /
/

13 You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.
/
+ 33:3 Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
-- Isaiah 55:6 =
Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
-- Matthew 6:6; 9-13; 7:7; 21:22 =
+ 6 But when you Pray, go into your room, close the door and Pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
/
+ 9 Pray then in this way:
'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 this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.'

+ 9 I Pray for them. I am not Praying for the world, but for those You have given Me, for they are Yours.
10 All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them.
+ 20 My Prayer is not for them alone. I Pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message,
21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me.
22 I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are One:
23 I in them and You in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.

/
+10:12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile -- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him,
13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Joel 2:32)
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News!" (Isaiah 52:7).

14 For if I Pray in a tongue, my spirit Prays, but my mind is unfruitful.

-- Ephesians 3:16-19 =
16 I Pray that out of his glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
-- Philippians 1:4-6,9; 4:6-7 =

-- Colossians 1:3-6 =
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we Pray for you,
4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints --
5 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the Gospel

-- 1 Timothy 2:1-4 =
1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, Prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone --

3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
4 Who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
-- 2 Timothy 1:3 =
I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my Prayers.
-- Philemon 1:4-7 =
4 I always thank my God as I remember you in my Prayers,
5 because I hear about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints.
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.
7 Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.
-- Hebrews 13:18 =
Pray for us. We are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.
-- James 5:13-16 =
13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should Pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to Pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 And the Prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The Prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
