Title: Why Pray?
Text:
Philippians 4:6-7 (HCSB)
6 Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Observation:
Prayer is the means that God has provided for His people to communicate with Him. It is through prayer and the Word of God that God's people are able to align our will with God's will. It is the means by which we get the power to fulfill our purpose, and reach our potential.
Who wouldn't want to exchange worry for the peace of God? You can have it when you pray; Prayer is the key to God's storehouse. There is no scarcity in God's storehouse; nothing you need is ever out of stock.
"O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!"

When fears knock on my door, I choose to reject it; I choose faith instead. The exercise of faith in God results in the favor of God. Can I get a witness that God hears and answers prayer? Don't respond to me; say Yes to our Father in heaven; give Him a hand clap of praise. When the praises of God's people go up, the power of God comes down.
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, if there was ever a time to pray, we sure do need to pray during these trying times. Father God, I am so glad that this world is not my home; that I'm just traveling through this world to my home in heaven.
Father, pour out Your Spirit in Holy Ghost power across the length and breathe of this world; everywhere Your people are praying and praising You, show off Your mighty power. Father, reign over us, and rain on us with favor. Father, shine on us, in us, and through us. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
