MAINTAINING A PRAYER LIFE

 

Prayer provides an opportunity for people to connect with God. Prayer teaches one how to communicate, lament (vent), and listen to God. Prayer is theraputic in that it conditions the spirit-soul and mind-body, building up one's resistance against attacks and threats from the enemy. Prayer preserves. Prayer covers.Prayer yields an atmosphere of peace and serenity that can permeate throughout one's day.

We should maintain a daily prayer life. During your moments of prayer try incorporating the following:

• Draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to us. (James 4:8)
• Confess our sins. (1 John 8,9)
• Worship and praise God. (Psalm 100)
• Forgive others. (Ephesians 4:32)
• Listen to God. (Ecclesiastes 5:1,2)
• Submit to God's will in our lives. (Matt. 6:10)
• Get victory over Satan. (Ephesians 6:12,13)
• Exchange our mutual love with God. (Mark 12:30)
• Get empowerment for our life and ministry. (Acts 1:8)
• Intercede for others daily. (Ephesians 6:18)

Remember, prayer works everyday!
