By Prayer and Supplication

 

Text: Philippians 4:6 (ESV)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

A lot of people are struggling in their prayer life if we can be sincere with ourselves. Many times, we get frustrated and confused about why this is happening, but we often fail to realize that prayer is not as hard as it may seem. It is usually simpler as we make our reguests made known to our dear father. It is what makes us to have a strong connection with God. Although it can be simple but it is still acceptable by God. We tend to get intimidated by people’s prayers pattern, but the truth is God stills hears and answers those eloquent and silent ones too. The type of prayer that you render to God, either be it loud or silent; the main thing is that it is based on the Word of God. There is NO MUST PATTERN TYPE OF PRAYER but just follow Jesus lay down principles to prayers. One needs to depend on the Holy Spirit for help, and in so doing, He will perfect our prayer line. Romans 8:26- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Remember, your prayer should be in accordance with God’s will and never yours. Prayer cannot be stopped because it comes from the heart. You might not know the prayer that God will answer, so pray all manner of prayers from simple to hard matters.

One mistake we tend to make is that we think we can pray for all our needs at once, but that is not true. We cannot finish all our prayers at once; that is why we are told to pray continually. Luke 18:1- And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint. 1 Thessalonians 5:17- Pray without ceasing. So I urge you to cultivate the habit of prayer, be sincere and do not give up if your testimony does not come immediately, but instead be patient because that simple prayer of yours will soon move mountains, so rejoice.
