Prayer is such an important part of our walk with God. We have so much power in our lives, simply by praying to God. When we get down on our knees in faith and talk to God and ask Him for the needs and concerns in our lives, we are loosing things in Heaven and using the power that God has placed inside of us.
When someone is sick, we must pray, when someone is in need of a financial blessing, we must pray, when someone is not saved, we must pray. Pray changes things and in some cases can change things over night.
We must believe and seek our Father in Heaven in prayer. It will build your faith in God and God will know you are serious about Him. When we seek God in prayer we are telling God that we believe in Him and that we have to have Him in the things we are praying for and I know He will hear us and answer us.
I have seen people prayed for and healed of cancer, healed from addiction, healed from depression, etc.
God will move when you seek Him in prayer. He will hear you and answer you.
Don't get me wrong I have a long way to go when it comes to prayer but as I seek God more in prayer, it moves me closer to Him and I contact God when I have an issue and not man.
Calling your pastor or a close Christian friend is fine but if you want an answer and deliverance from your issue, pray to God. God can answer it, man cannot.
God is giving us an opportunity all day and all night every day to seek Him in prayer and allows us to be heard before His throne.
I pray today that you will seek God more in prayer and watch God work. His Word tells us that what you ask of Him it will be given. He is a worthy God and is greatly to be praised.
When you pray, you dont have to sound like you are holy and a scholar. Be real with God when you pray and let Him know you are broken and laying at His feet and you are seeking Him as His creation.
