Continue To Pray

Good Morning!! Why should we even bother praying? If God is always going to do His will,...and His will is always perfect, then why should we ever pray? The answer, it is important to recognize, comes from the same God Who tells us that He “works all things after the counsel of His own will.” This very same God informs us that effectual, fervent prayer on the part of His people avails,...not just a little bit, or for a little while,...but much!

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.—James 5:16 (NIV)

 

So now you may ask; "How can an immutable, all-knowing, eternal God listen to our prayers and allow them to influence the outcome of events, great and small?" Honestly, we may never know, or understand. But this we do know: God tells us that our prayers make a tremendous impact. So, how should we respond to temptations or trials? Pray. What should we do on behalf of sick, or lost, or hurting loved ones? Pray. What is our responsibility toward those that have authority over us? Pray for them. How can you make a difference in the world around you? Pray.

God says; the hard work of sincere and fervent prayer gains much ground, does great good,...do you believe Him?

 

Holy Spirit, help us to pray like it makes a difference,...because it really does. Amen.

"Only the Holy Spirit can conquer the; 'I want to be different but can't.,...I know what's wrong , but I keep doing it anyway' thing."
