Although these words are very familiar we sometimes forget what “The power of prayer” really means. It is a powerful tool for communicating with our Creator as well as the opportunity to communicate with Our Heavenly Father who is the Giver of all things good. It helps us to find strength for today and hope for our future. Prayer is not something to take lightly or be used infrequently.
Our spiritual life is in direct alignment with the quality of our prayer life. Prayer changes things and us. Instead of turning things over in our mind, we should turn them over to God in prayer. We need to ask God to lead the way and not worry over the next decision that we make. We should pray on a regular basis regarding large issues as well as small ones.
God listens when our prayers are weak, when our words are few, and when our heart is dry. The greatest power that He can give to us as individuals is the power of prayer. He will never leave us and will always be waiting to listen as we call to Him in prayer.
James 5:16 (New International Version)
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16 (New Living Translation)
16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results
James 5:16 (King James Version)
16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much
Heavenly Father, God, Almighty I ask that you touch each person who reads this message. I also ask dear Lord that they learn to come to You in prayer during their time of weakness as well as when things are going well in their lives. Please touch each one with Your Supernatural Power so that they will learn to trust you and feel Your presence penetrate their hearts down to their soul. Please Father, God please listen to and answer every petition and every hearts request that is brought to you this day, Lord, Jesus. Amen
As I woke this morning I could hear the angels singing these words "Enter his gates with thanksgiving. Enter his courts with praise. Be thankful unto him. And bless, his name. We've come to praise his name".
Today belongs to Jesus. Stay focused on Him and He will lead you on the journey you need to walk with Him today. Let's not be too busy with our lives to stop for a moment, pray, and give Him the honor and praise He deserves today.
Sincerely,
Bonnie
