Desires for God

‭Psalms 143:6 NLT‬
[6] I lift my hands to you in prayer. I thirst for you as parched land thirsts for rain. Interlude

Our desires for God increases when we experience spiritual dryness and depth hunger (spiritual feelings) for Him.

Usually, these desires only disappear when we engage in intense prayers. This is not just normal prayers, but a mutual communication with God that draws your heart to Him so you can know what the will of God is.

The next time you experience an inner, spiritual urge, do not hesitate to pray.

For the Christian, prayer is when you engage God in personal, cordial conversation with Him, and you can talk about various issues that is on your mind. 

Seeking the purpose of God 4

We must pray and continually ask God’s will to be done.

‭‭Luke 18:1 NLT‬‬

[1] One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.

The devil constantly tries to undermine the purpose and plans of God, and the prayer of the believer is the weapon (amongst others) to defeat the enemy.

One of the most important prayers

Leave a comment

One of the most important prayers in any man’s life is to pray not to fall into temptation.

Falling into temptation can bring any man down from grace to grass. It can also make a great man an ordinary man.

Matthew 26:40-41
40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?

41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

This is so important that there is an instruction that whoever thinks he stands should watch lest he falls. 

1Co 10:12 NET So let the one who thinks he is standing to be careful that he does not fall.

Don’t be so confident that you ignore a gentle warning. 

When to pray

When you’re troubled and distressed, it’s time to pray.

When you’re confused, it’s time to pray.

When you have a challenge and don’t know how to manage it, it’s time to pray.

When you’re in a dilemma and find it hard to make a good decision, pray.

And when everything seems alright, it’s time to pray.

Matthew 26:36-38
36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became anguished and distressed.

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”

Don’t stop praying!

Don’t stop praying!

Pray every time you can. Pray anywhere. Pray everywhere. Pray when it makes sense and when it does not make sense.

Keep Praying!

Pray for guidance. Pray for a lead in life

Pray to God. Pray in the name of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is the Lord.

Don’t stop praying in the name of Jesus even when you don’t see the result immediately.

So, pray until you see situations changing until you see the effects. And even after you see the signs of your prayers working, never stop still.

Pray again!
