Keep On Praying

Sometimes we believers in Jesus Christ fail to see the importance of prayer in our lives.  We sometimes treat prayer as something we do when we have tried everything else to solve the problem on our own. 

We find many times in the Gospels where Jesus went and prayed.  If Jesus thought prayer was so important shouldn't we view it the same way.  The Lord is still listening and He still wants to hear from His children.

There are times when we get so busy with life and other things that we fail to take time to pray.  We should never fail to pray.  Prayer is vitally important.  The Lord is still in the business of answering our prayers. 

We forget that the Lord always answers our prayers.  We always like to hear a yes to our prayer request, but we forget that a no and wait are also answers that the Lord gives.  He will answer in accordance to His will. 

We must also remember to pray in faith.  Sometimes we pray in automatic mode without even giving a thought to what we are saying. 

The Lord wants us to come humbly to the throne of grace with many request and prayers.  He wants our worship and praise as well.  There is no concern too small or too big for our Lord to handle.  We should never hesitate to call out to the Lord in prayer both in the good times and the hard times of life.

The Lord loves us and He wants us to call out to Him and trust that He will answer our prayers according to His will and in His timing. 

We must keep on praying and trusting the Lord. 

Lord, 

We praise Your Holy Name.

Help us to offer up our prayers to You more often.

We pray for those who don't know You.

We pray for those who are sick and facing serious illnesses.

We pray for help for those in need.

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen.
