___ Prayer

10Mar09

Blogging doesn’t seem to be a priority in my life since I write here only once every 4 months !

In the last 4 months, I’ve learned a lot about God, myself, prayer, and relationships.

I first want to thank God for His infinite patience and love towards me. He is my everything, my rock, the only reason I’m here.
My deepest desire is to live every second of my life for and by Him, to be filled with the Holy Spirit for every breath I take. This desire is so strong in me, I wish nothing could take me away from that, but I’m a sinner, Satan is rushing to disturb my life. He can’t pull me away, but he can fill my time with all sorts of useless things!! He can also place doubts into my mind, strugglings, worries, dark toughts, lusts, but nothing will separate me from the love of my almighty Savior!

Romans 8.38-39
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayer, with a little faith in a powerful God, is incredible. But if God is in control of everything, why do we have to pray? Doesn’t He know all the needs and all the problems of the world, why should we ask Him for anything? Because we are part of His plan. He planned for us to pray! That answer popped out as I was asking all these questions to myself, and it was enough to persuate me that prayer is important, more than we can imagine. Even Jesus-Christ (God himself!!), prayed (a lot!!) during His journey on earth !! He commands us to pray. It is also very important for keeping a healthy relationship with God.
Prayer is so important that we should constantly be doing so.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 (King James Version)
Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 (New International Version)
Pray continually.
