My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Attitudes About Prayer

2 Chronicles 7 : 14

If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Here it is, another week of coffee and conversation. In looking back at the week, the best choice of subjects to write about was, attitudes toward prayer.

Prayer is the greatest source of power in the universe. Political power, money, numbers, mean nothing when measured against prayer. How many times have you heard someone say, “ all we can do is pray”  in a desperate kind of way? People say that, and think that way, because they don't know any better. Let's look at it.

There are some problems people seemingly take care of. They do this through politics, money, or brute force. However most of the problems people try to correct are problems they have made in the first place.

There are many things in this world man cannot even begin to conquer. Some examples are real love for someone or from someone. Then, there are the issues of diseases, weather, actions by others, and the list goes on.

God created the universe and everything in it. He allows everything that happens, so man can see for himself how inadequate they are, and the futility of life in general, without God. 

God gave man a way to conquer the problems of life, but the vast majority of people do not hear His voice, or do not accept the answer. The absolute power to overcome anything, is sincere prayer from a person who believes. God made it all, so it stands to reason, He can fix it all.

So my friends, don't say all we can do is pray, but rather say, we must pray, and mean it. There is nothing that cannot be changed by prayer.

 Philippians 4: 6, says, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

John 15: 7, says, if you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

Jeremiah 29:12 says, then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you.

So you see my friends, prayer is so important. Don't cheat yourself out  of God's blessings anymore. Open your Bible and spend a little time getting to know the real God. God bless you and your family.    Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You. 

Praise the Lord! 

Amen
