Title: Do You Know How to Pray Life Changing Prayers?
Text:
Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Observation:
I don't know and understand everything there is to know about prayer, but I do know that God hears and answers prayer, and that prayer works exceedingly well for those who call upon the Lord.
When I lived in Anchorage, Alaska I had a prayer ministry on the Christian Radio station, and I had a guest on my program who was a musician and evangelist. She had a song, "Prayer Changes Things" that I used as my theme song for the program. The program was called, "Praying for You".
One of the lines in that song said, "God is waiting to hear from you". I know this to be true because Jesus said it.
1 Peter 5:6-7 (ESV)
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Let's not pray just for ourselves. Rather, let's pray for others; it will open the windows of heaven, and God will shower us with blessings from above.
Ephesians 6:18-19 (HCSB)
18 Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.
19 Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be Your name; the name that is above every name on earth and in heaven.
Father, listen to Your people as prayers from all across our world are going up to You as Your people cry out to You; casting all of their cares upon You like You invited us to do.
Father, have mercy upon our needy souls. Father, in times like these we need more amazing grace from the lover of our soul; may we hear the sweet sound of it from sea to shinning sea. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Matthew 4:4 (HCSB)
4 But He answered, "It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Psalm 2:8 (HCSB)
8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.
