My Time With Jesus Tuesday

Praying God's Will

1 John 5: 14-15, Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Most Christians, especially new Christians, know that prayer works, but they are unsure about the proper way to pray. Today's verse talks about praying according to God's will. How do we know what His will is? The Bible covers that pretty good.

Ezekiel 36: 26-27, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and you will keep My judgments and do them.

When we are saved, we receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a guide, a helper, and an intercessor for us. He helps us and teaches us everything, including how to pray. When we want to pray according to God's will it is essential to work with the Holy Spirit because He is the key.

1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18, rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything gives thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

When we pray, we should ask the Holy Spirit to help us pray according to God's will. God puts desires in our hearts according to His will. If we ask the Holy Spirit to join our spirit in asking our Father, we will present the perfect prayer.

Romans 8: 26, likewise the Spirit also helps us in our weaknesses. We do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

As you go through life praying as you should, your prayers will get stronger and stronger, and your faith will get stronger and stronger. It all ends up giving new meaning to your life.

With powerful prayers you can pray for other people, people you don't even know, like someone you see on the street, or even for somebody on the other side of the world. There is no limit of any kind on the power of sincere prayer. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of salvation.

My Lord Jesus Christ, I thank you and Praise you for what you did on the cross for me. By your stripes I was healed and your blood washed away my sins. Your death and resurrection made my salvation possible. I confess my sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. 

Amen! 

Praise The Lord!
