Rejoicing in Prayer || A Devotion

3/3/2021

6 Comments

 
Hello! I’m happy to be back with another post for y’all today! Our church’s theme this year is “On Bended Knee,” emphasizing the importance and power of prayer. So I thought it would be appropriate for us to rejoice in the blessings of a conversation with our Heavenly Father (for those who are Born Again! Not sure what this means? Please contact us!)!

Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah 33:3
1| Praise
Sometimes I’m afraid we forget about this portion of prayer time. I’m just as guilty as the next person, but I try to make a point and praise God for something about Him. His goodness. His love. For good weather. For a roof over my head. For just about anything you can think of. Give it a try! It’s an excellent way to start the day 😉

2| Confess
This cannot be overstated. Even as Christians, that doesn’t mean we won’t still sin. And as soon as you have, confession must be made. It’s hard sometimes. It’s humbling. But that’s the only way we can come before God, in humility. And believe me, there is no better feeling than getting the obstacles out from between you and the Father.

3| Request
When nothing is standing in the way of your relationship with God, it’s time to make your requests known unto Him. Whether it’s for wisdom, health, a request for you, or for a friend, know that He is ready and eager for you to share with Him whatever is on your heart, even though He already knows.

4| Talk
Ever just talked to God? Like, just told Him about your life and your plans? Asked Him for advice? Just had a conversation? And don’t tell me that’s weird, ‘cause you know you talk to yourself *halo* If you’ve never done it, just try it. Trust me. It’s one of the best feelings in the world. Sure, He knows it all. But that doesn’t change the fact that He cares. Just do it 😉
 
Sorry, this isn’t an intense theological discussion, but who said prayer has to be complicated? I definitely want to study more about prayer, but sometimes, it’s nice to just get back to the basics!
 
What is something about Prayer that God has taught you recently?? Please share them with us below!

Have a Blessed Day, and God Bless America!

Prayer is definitely very important. Often it is pushed to the back burner, because people do not see the importance of it. I now how important it is. If I forget to pray in the morning or push it until later my whole day is out of whack. My fellowship with the Savior is very essential in my daily life. Aren't we so glad we have a Savior who hears and answers prayer?

I enjoyed reading this post! It reminded me of an acronym that I learned which lists steps of prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication (ACTS). I think it's pretty self-explanatory. ;)
I hope you are doing well!
