God's Love

 

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James 5:16 (KJV)

 Why Pray?


      Because nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer, except that which lies outside the will of God. You'll never know how many people have been strengthened because you asked God to encourage them. Or healed because you stood with them in faith. Or how many spiritual runaways have come home because you prayed for their souls? None of us will ever know the true results of our prayers this side of heaven, but we know this: God's kingdom on earth is established by those who pray, Through prayer we're invited into a relationship with God, a relationship that involves both talking and listening. Prayer is talking with God about what we are doing together as Dallas Willard put it. In addition to all the other work that gets done through prayer, the greatest work of all is the knitting together of our hearts with the heart of God. Many a person on their deathbed has regretted their obsession with work, money, pleasure and power. But have you ever heard of anyone who regretted spending too much time in prayer? No. Where there is much prayer, there's much love.

    G. Ashton Oldham says, Prayer does not consist in battering the walls of heaven, for personal benefit or the success of our plans. Rather, it's the committing of our selves to carrying our God's purposes. It is a telephone call to headquarters for orders.  It's not bending God's will to ours, but our will to His. In prayer we tap reservoirs of spiritual power whereby God can find fuller entrance into the hears of men. Why pray?, That's why~

 

Prayer:
   Show us your mercy, O Lord; And grant us your salvation.  Clothe your ministers with righteousness; Let your people sing with joy.  Give peace, O Lord, in the entire world; For only in you can we live in safety.  Lord, keep this nation under your care; And guide us in the way of justice and truth.  Let your way be known upon earth; You're saving health among all nations. Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten; Nor the hope of the poor be taken away.  Create in us clean hearts, O God; And sustain us by your Holy Spirit.
