STUDY ABOUT PRAYER 1 | HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE PRAY?
1. Prayer
a) May we ask you a question? How often do you pray? Prayer is the “direct line” to God. It is the way that we communicate verbally and silently with God. Prayers that are said from faithful stewards are always heard and answered by God. If you don’t pray often, we encourage you to start praying on a daily basis. When you are communicating with God, you are utilizing a “life-line”.
b) Prayer is a must for anyone who believes in God. Prayer connects us to God. We are commanded to pray unceasingly and our prayers are indeed powerful. Whatever is in your life, whether it be blessings or trials, give them all to God in prayer. Lift up those you love and your enemies. You will see God’s handy-work when you pray. God bless you as you live a life worthy of the calling!
2. How Often Should we Pray?
a) “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) As God’s children, we need to uplift each other in prayer, and also pray for all of the other blessings and trials that are in our lives. This verse is truly inspiring because there is always something to pray about, whether it is driving home safely from work, having a romantic evening with your spouse or uplifting our leaders of the government in prayer. There is never a second that goes by where we shouldn’t be able to think of something or someone to pray for.
b) In Colossians we read about how the church in Colossae truly loved Paul and Timothy in the Spirit (Colossians 1:8). Paul’s response to this love is “and so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you.” (Colossians 1:9) When you are in your day to day life, think about people you love and pray for each one individually all day. Along with those you love, pray for those that are hurting. Pray for the orphans with no mommies or daddies to take care of them. Pray for the widows that haven’t a man by their side. There truly is always something to pray about.
