"Prayer Power"
Are you looking for God's power and blessing
on your life ? The great and spiritually powerful people on this earth
today are those believers in Jesus Christ who pray. I do not mean those
who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer, nor yet
those who can explain about prayer, but I mean those people who take time
and pray. They may not have time. It may be taken away from something else,
but they know that prayer is the most important action they can do to abide
in our Lord Jesus Christ
Because they know that Jesus answers prayer, answers
always and everywhere. I may cast my anxious care and burdens i could never
bear, on the God who heareth prayer. Never need my soul despair, since
He bids me boldly dare, to the secret place of repair, There to prove He
answers our prayers day and night
DAILY PRAYER OF EXPECTANCY
Father in Heaven, great and powerful and full of love,
I lift my heart in praise for the privilege of coming to You in prayer.
Give me special grace as I join Your exalted Son in His ministry of prayer.
Search my heart, Lord and show me if any sin is hindering Your work in
my life
May i respond without delay whenever You make me conscious
of sin. How grateful i am for your total forgiveness the moment I confess
my sin, turning back to You as my Lord and Savior. And Father, teach me
to pray. How much i yearn to know Your will and Your way. I thank You that
your Son lives within me. What a joy to know that He is my teacher - that
throught Him i can learn to pray. I can learn to release Your boundless
power for both my needs and the needs of many others, near and far. Teach
me to pray,
Day by day may your Spirit work in me, motivating me
to abide in Christ and pray in faith, moving Your mighty hand to fulfill
Your purposes. Keep reminding me that You are able to do infinitely more
than i would ever dare to ask or imagine, by Your mighty power at work
within me. To You be the Glory both now and forever. Amen
