There are times when people run into trouble one way or another. Some people get sick or have an accident or something else happens to them and they need help. Sometimes it's hard for us to know what to do to help someone. We can help them by providing financial help if we can or we can also provide material support as well. There is something else we believers should do as well and that is we can pray for them.
Sometimes we treat prayer like a last resort kind of thing. We try to figure things out in our own power and strength then after that fails then we turn to God in prayer for help. How foolish we are at times? We should be calling out to the Lord Jesus for help the moment we have a need placed on our heart. The Lord told us to call out to Him in prayer and He said He would answer in accordance to His will and His timing. We must come to Him in faith.
Sometimes our prayers don't seem to have much faith attached to them I am afraid. I feel that way sometimes. Sometimes I just get into a rut or I am not fully engaged as to what I am actually doing. Sometimes we fail to realize who we are talking to in prayer. We are talking to the Lord the Creator of all things. We cry out to the Holy One who is the Ancient of Days who has no beginning and no end. He knows all things and He is present everywhere. He knows our thoughts and the words that are in our mouths even before we speak them. Our God is an Amazing God and He invites us to come boldly to the throne of Grace in prayer. He wants to hear from His children. What parent wouldn't?
He promises to answer us and the Holy Spirit will help us to pray even when we have no idea how to pray. There are so many situations and people to pray for these days. There are people that the Lord will bring to our minds to pray for and we should stop what we are doing and lift them up to the Lord in prayer.
The Lord will work through our prayers to further the Kingdom of God and draw people to Himself for His Honor, Glory, and Praise. When I think of things to pray for I think of the United States of America and the need of a Spiritual Awakening to happen in this country and spread to every country in the world. We are living in dangerous times. These are trying times. People need the Lord Jesus.
There are many people who are hurting and facing sorrows and heartaches that need our prayers. I am thinking about that duck boat accident where 17 people died. The families are heart broken and some feel guilty because they survived while their family members didn't. I know a woman who was in a car accident and has been seriously hurt. Her name is Karen. I would ask you to lift her up in prayer for healing and pray for her family as well.
I visited my aunt in a nursing home in Presque Isle yesterday and I would ask for prayers for her and all those in nursing homes and the staff of those facilities as well. Let's pray for our leaders of our countries and let's pray for our Pastors and church leaders as well.
Call out to the Lord that He would place His hand upon every believer in Christ and fill them with a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit to bring Glory and Praise unto the Lord our God and Redeemer.
When trouble comes our way let us pray.
Lord,
There are so many things going on in our world today and we are finding it hard to pray.
Help us to pray with a fresh faith in You and Your abilities. For You are able and willing to answer our calls for help.
Help us O Lord.
I ask that You would send a Spiritual Awakening to the United States and to all the Nations of the world. I uplift Karen for healing and strength and I uplift my Aunt Joyce.
I uplift the President and our leaders of this Nation. Lead them and guide them to do Your will.
Touch every believer in Christ this very night with a fresh empowering of the Holy Spirit O Lord.
We praise Your Name. Send Revival among Your people.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
