Prayer Always
“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.” Jeremiah 29:12 ESV
“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.”
Jeremiah 29:12 ESV
Jesus said,
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Mark 11:24 ESV
“do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Philippians 4:6 ESV
God wants to hear from us. God wants us to pray to Him. God wants us to call to Him when in need, or even in thanksgiving. Prayer is so important. Your prayer can be in a formal setting with a group, or individually in your own space. Prayer is how we talk to God. Praying to Jesus Christ, and being touched by the Holy Spirit is part of our walk as a believer, a Christian, a saint.
Prayer can bring peace, comfort, and calmness. With others, prayer can also bring connection, and witness to the power of many in prayer at once.
Prayer can be a few simple words as you are walking into work, or a whole conversation with God in the car, or a plea for help at home when you feel lost and in need.
If you don’t know what to pray, or how to pray, but you know you need to pray, the Holy Spirit knows your heart and can step in to help.
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.”
Romans 8:26 ESV
When you conclude your prayer, be thankful. Even during your struggles, and amidst your tough days, thank God for everything, for being with you, and trust that He is there and working to get your through. And of course, thank God when things are good, because you know all good things come from Him.
“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 ESV
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.”
Colossians 4:2 ESV
Jesus said,
“Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.”
Mark 11:23 ESV
Dear Lord, teach me to pray always, and not try to hide my desires, because you know our desires before we even speak them. May the Holy Spirit be in my heart and remind me to seek you wherever I am. I love you and praise your Holy Name, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
