Prayer



Is prayer that important ??

We are to pray in times of difficulties
so that we may not become faithless and unbelieving prosperity
so that we may not become boastful and proud danger
so that we may not become fearful and
doubting security so that we may not become self-sufficient


Sinners pray for forgiveness
Christians pray for an outpouring of God’s spirit upon a willful, evil, unrepentant world
Parents pray for grace and mercy for their families
Children pray for their needs, for guidance and wisdom

Happy is the man who knows the secret of coming to God in daily prayer. Absolute dependency and absolute surrender are the conditions of being His child to receive those things that lend themselves to happiness. Man does not come to know God through works. Man comes to know God by faith, through grace, which comes as a gift of God through Christ.

Psalm 146 : 5
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God
