What is prayer? : Teachings

What is prayer?

 Prayer is the practice of God's presence. It is a place where pride is cast aside, hope is roused, and supplication is offered. Prayer is where we acknowledge our needs, embrace humility, and assert our dependence on God. Prayer is a necessary Christian practice. Prayer is the  practice  of faith and hope. Prayer is a privilege to touch the heart of the Father through the Son of God,  our Lord Jesus.

                          

The Bible says a lot about prayer. However, we often ignore prayer and try to achieve what we  have or want to achieve through our willpower. Having sinned many times before, we must get down on our knees, confess our sins, receive God's forgiveness, and ask that His will  be done rather than our own. God is sovereign and loving, and he knows what's best for us and others, even when it doesn't always  make the most sense.

                                

We  often come to the Lord with legitimate requests for healing, conversion, need, but often the answers we want do not come. But we persevere and praise God. We pray and want to see results because we know  God is listening to us. We should pray in faith and trust God. We should pray consistently and trust God. We should pray for healing and trust God. We should pray for others and trust God. We should pray, and remember that whether our prayers are answered or not, knowing what the Lord knows will not change anything.

                                

Prayer transforms the worshiper. Because in prayer you are in God's presence. Because you confess and reveal all of yourself in dependence on God. There's nothing to hide when you reach out in silent prayer 

 Get in touch with the deepest part of yourself and acknowledge your needs and shortcomings. This calms us down and takes away our  pride  and we enjoy it 

 presence of God. James 4:8 says, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."

                                

 Prayer has another benefit: peace. In all things make your requests known to God in  prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving. hearts and  minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

                                

I believe that  our prayer life and our dependence on God will be tested by our peace  of mind. In all things we must seek the Lord and  His constant presence. Peace is indeed in our interests. 

 Prayer is the practice of God's presence.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

Walking By Faith - Daily Devotional

Verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) Devotional: As Christians, our journey is one of faith. We are called to walk by faith, not by what we see or understand with our natural senses. This can be both a challenging and a rewarding path. Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult. It means believing that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Imagine walking in a dense fog, unable to see more than a few steps ahead. In life, we often face situations where we can't see the road ahead clearly. It's during these moments that our faith is put to the test. But just as a person walking in the fog relies on each step they take, we can rely on God with every step we take in our faith journey. The Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's like having a confident assurance in God's promises e...

Trust His Timing - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV) - "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." Devotional: In our fast-paced world, it's easy to feel impatient and anxious when things don't happen as quickly as we desire. We often want things to unfold according to our own timelines, but God's ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. As Christians, we are called to trust His timing, knowing that He has a purpose and plan for every season of our lives. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, King Solomon reminds us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens. Just as the changing seasons are a part of God's creation, so are the different seasons in our lives. Each season serves a purpose, whether it be a time of growth, waiting, or healing. During times of waiting, it's natural to feel discouraged or uncertain. But God's Word reassures us that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their...
