Continue in Prayer

Something that I wanted to share on Prayer that I once read .... especially after reading this "God's Heart is aching." Prayer lifts heavy loads from our hearts. Prayer gives us courage to go on when the way looks dark. Prayer opens doors and melts hard hearts. Prayer changes lives and wins souls. Prayer brings response from God. Prayer is not a duty to be performed; it is a privilege to be used and enjoyed. It is the talking over of life's problems with one who has power to solve those problems. Prayer is an obedience of confidence in God. Prayer is an expression of our conscious need of God. Prayer is an act of obedience. Satan will keep us from praying if he can. Psalms 34:10 "They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing." James 4:3 "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures." Jesus went aside to pray. If HE felt a need for talking to God, how much more do we need that strengthening fellowship! Matthew 7:7, 8 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
