Why Pray?

When troubles come in our lives we are challenged to pray. When things are going well we may be less inclined to pray. The Apostle Paul said that we should always pray. This meant that we should be in a mindset of communicating with God at all times.

Stresses come in our lives daily, but the Believer knows through experience, that trouble don't last always! To that I say Praise the Lord! Pray is a gateway to God that allows the Lord to speak to us, and for place for us to LISTEN to God direct us. Far to many times we fail to listen to God, and simply take time to tell God what we want or need. I believe that God is trying to communicate with us regularly, but we are moving so fast, so often that we assume the will of God without waiting to hear from God.

Why Pray? The reason to pray is to become God-directed, and not self-directed. God wants to lead our lives not take orders from us. Soon, Thursday, May 7th we will be hosting the National Day of Prayer. Our nation is in need of our prayers, our President is in need of our prayers, Our Communities are in need of prayer, I am in need of your prayers. In order for the Church to be all Jesus desired her to be, Believers must lift one another up in prayer.

I believe in prayer and to that end I stand in support of people who pray. There are prayer warriors out hear it is time to put on the battle gear and start challenging the demonic forces that are seeking to undermine Ministries and the Church. If you do not like something pray for the Lord to show you whether He is doing something you are not seeing. Do not speak against that that you may not be able to see where God is taking you.

Remember prayer not only changes things, mostly prayer changes us!
