Pray without ceasing!!

I have found then when you are down and out it always gets worse quicker then it gets better. People love to kick you when you are down, and leave you feeling hopeless as much as they can. Some people get so far in that they turn away from GOD, and that is never a good choice. Sometimes a good prayer can be all you need to get out of the situation. The Bible says in Pslams 4:8 "In peace I will both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety." It is important to note that GOD would not allow you to go through anything he didn't know you could make it through. This does not mean that it will be easy; but, because you are going through it, you can be assured that for you it is not impossible. A prayer is stronger when it is not done alone,  The Bible says in Matthew 18:20  "For where two or more gather in my name, there am I with them.” A prayer should not be stiff and formal, it is your conversation with GOD, and it is yours alone. Some may tell you that you must say this or must say that, but it is not true. There is only one thing that is asked of you during your prayer, in some way pray in the "Name of Jesus" the Bible says in John 14:14 "If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." Jesus also instructed his disciples on how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 "This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" Ask anyone who is in touch with GOD and has witnessed the glory of his grace and you will see first hand the power of prayer. The holy spirit is always around us, watching and waiting to in power those who are weak, enlighten those who are in the dark, and befriend those who are friendless. "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24. When you fall, there is a hand always there to help you up, just reach out and grab it. Prayer is the answer to your problems and the tool that will make your obstacle manageable. However, prayer is not just a key to changing the negatives in your life, but a necessity to the preservation of your blessings. You see god speaks to us through his written word: The Bible. We respond and stay in contact in the same respect through prayer. Prayer is an important part of the Christian’s life; we pray in words and sometimes we pray in song. The bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray without ceasing". Some will pray mighty prayers in places of worship but present no true heart. Praying for the recognition of the people in the congregation, not for the glory of god. It goes without saying that this will provide no reward, applause and admiration in that moment possibly, but no true reward will be found for them. The bible calls these people hypocrites in Matthew 6:5, then instructs the more appropriate course of action in Matthew 6:6 "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." To clarify prayer in the name of Jesus or no does not mean that a ridiculous request such as a million dollars will not be guaranteed, but the plan will be laid before you. Pray for peace, healing, strength, enlightment, patience, or anything and it will be given. Go forward with the power of the great I AM, and the blessing of the Lamb into the future that you pave for yourself. Pray without ceasing and watch your life prosper. Be Blessed.
