STUDY ABOUT PRAYER 3 | A WELLSPRING OF LIFE

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. Prayer is a Wellspring of Life

a) Paul was filled with joy every time he prayed for those he loved (Philippians 1:3-4).  Prayer is a wellspring of life.  When you concentrate on the blessings and those you love, prayer can be a wonderful, joyous time.

Philippians 1:3-4
“I thank God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” 

b) The psalmist beautifully portrays a song of the Lord as a prayer (Psalms 42:8).  There is refreshing waters in the thoughts that God gives you when you pray to Him.  Take advantage of every opportunity to pray.  Don’t drain the wellspring. 

Psalms 42:8
“By day the Lord commands His steadfast love, and at night His song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.”
