Prayer!

James; 5:16
(Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man avails much.)
Most of us if we were honest would say "our prayer life is sub-par or non existent", yet we are instructed to pray without ceasing. Our mind and thoughts are to directed toward God in heaven as we go along our daily life. Yes, we are to pay attention to what we are doing but we need to keep God in the forefront of our daily life. The Bible talks about prayer all the time and we must conclude that it is very important. It is our way of communicating with our heavenly Father. God already knows what we need even before we ask Him but we still must pray. Moses prayed to God that He would not destroy the people of Israel in the wilderness. Elijah prayed to God and God brought down fire from heaven and burned up the sacrifice on Mount Carmel. Many men praying in the Bible and God answering their prayers.

We also are instructed to pray for our leaders whether they are spiritual or political leaders. We need to pray that they will be sensitive to God's speaking. We also should be thankful in our prayers thanking God for all He has done for us. We would not have anything if God had not allowed us to have it. So remember to thank Him for it. We need to pray for the unsaved in the world that they would repent and come to saving knowledge of Jesus. So remember to pray without ceasing and may God bless you.

God Bless You!
