Prayer

When you watch the news, you quickly see that this is a wicked world. You can look around you and see it where you live.

Every child of God will go through times when God is silent. You will have times when you feel like God is far away. You will wonder if God is listening to you. You will begin to think God will never speak to you again.

God has called His people to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth. Jesus Christ came to make God’s will known to us. Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you”.

Psalm 1 reveals that there are only two lifestyles – the godly and the wicked. The godly have surrendered to God’s Son and seek
to obey His Word.

The hope of every believer is the return of Jesus Christ. The Word of God says, “For our conversation is in heaven, from where also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ”.

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much”. I’m sure you’re familiar with this verse of Scripture.

This gives us insight into an aspect of prayer that we need to develop. Believers need to give thanks for other believers.

The Word of God and prayer are complementary. They are inseparably joined together. Prayer enables you to gain an understanding of the Word of God.
