Prayer is such an awesome avenue that God gave us to communicate with Him. It is such a powerful way for Christ followers to show God's love to the people around them.
God has really been laying prayer on my heart these last couple of weeks. Even before a wonderful lady from church gave me a tea light holder that reminds me to pray without ceasing, God had been working on my heart, telling me to pray more, to lift people up to Him on a more regular and deeper basis. These last couple of day especially God has been calling me to pray. He has been laying people on my heart throughout each day for me to pray for. I am so glad that He is working in me this way. I just pray He will continue.
I thought because of how God has been working in my heart that I would post some scripture about prayer. I hope God speaks to you. :)
And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it, and holds fast to my covenant-- those I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples. Isaiah 56:6-7 ESV (emphasis added)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be known to God. Philippians 4:6 ESV
And the prayer of faith will save one who is sick, and the LORD will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:15-16 ESV (emphasis added)
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.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. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Matthew 6:5-7 ESV
Pray constantly. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV (emphasis added)
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. Matthew 5:44 ESV
These are just a few of the verses that speak about prayer. I hope you were blessed.
