BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER
1st Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray Continually”
First of all, what is prayer?
Prayer is well known but yet deeply mysterious. Nevertheless, it can simply be described as communicating with the heavenly Father. Prayer includes elements such as asking, thanksgiving, intercession, supplication and so much more. Pause for a moment and think about what prayer means to you and your current pattern of prayer.
Do you pray only when you think it is necessary, when you are in a gathering, when you need help from God or out of the desire to relate with God as your Father? According to the bible passage above, it is important that we pray regularly.
Praying together in a gathering is good but the deeper sense of prayer comes from the secret place. It is in the place of personal prayer to God, that you can build a deep relationship with God the Father. Building this deep relationship should be your main desire in prayer.
You cannot develop an intimate relationship with the heavenly Father in a gathering. The Father dwells in secret and you need to get to the secret place, where the multitude is not present. Just you and God alone. You cannot find God haphazardly. You need to be intentional in seeking Him.
Prayer is rewarding. Your heavenly Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Do not go into the secret place with doubt but believe that He is ready and able to answer you. Mark 11:24
Prayer is effective when it is done out of the understanding of who you are praying to and the relationship you have with Him.
