Today we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus. He provided a new and living way for us to pray to our Father in heaven. During His earthly ministry, prayer was not only a vital part of life, but a subject about which the Lord taught often and an issue that should rejoice our hearts and become a vital element of our Christian walk. Some like to teach that communal prayer with other brothers and sisters in Christ, is unbiblical, but this teaching does not prohibit public prayer, but is specifically geared towards our own, individual, private prayer-time, where a child of God enjoys communion with his or her heavenly Father, coming to the throne of grace because of their identity with Christ Jesus our Lord. Prayer Is Intimate Communion With Our God, and the necessity to take time alone with the Lord in secret prayer, cannot be over-emphasized. Prayer is the breath of the soul which continuously reaches out in helplessness to the God Who made us, and Who redeemed us with His own precious blood. Prayer is an attitude of heart that cries out to the tender Father-heart of God for intimacy and close communion. Prayer is the combining of mankind's' helplessness with his or her faith in God's gracious provision, and prayer translates into a heart that trust in His never-ending love. Let us pray day by day in the quietness of our own particular, private, prayer 'closet'. Prayer is one of the most vital and special prerogatives that Christians have been afforded in this Church age of grace. Matthew 6:6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.  Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift and privilege of prayer. Thank You that we have access to Your throne of grace, for help in time of need. You alone are worthy of our grateful thanks and praise for this unparalleled birth-right. Renew in us increasing desires to know You more, and to love You better with each passing day. Purge from us any petty attitudes that may hinder our fellowship with You. Instill in us deepening desires to linger in Your presence and to praise You unceasingly, in spirit and truth. Develop in our hearts attitudes of worshipful prayer, so that our communion with You becomes the essential essence of our very lives on earth. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Multiplied calls to prayer are found throughout Scripture, and many men and women in the pages of the Bible are also found travailing in prayer to God. We are to pray without ceasing, to pray everywhere, and to pray in spirit and truth. Christ Himself was discovered throughout His earthly life in earnest prayer to His Heavenly Father, and we would do well to take heed of the reason for prayer. Prayer expresses a need that we are unable to satisfy. It is an acknowledgment that we live in total dependence upon the Lord. The essence of all prayer is an admission of utter helplessness combined with absolute confidence in God to supply all our needs according to His great riches in His great glory. When we live in an attitude of prayer, when we pray without ceasing, we are simply maintaining the ongoing and constant attitude of simple, child-like trust and helpless dependence upon the Father. To pray in the Spirit is only possible when we are living in unbroken fellowship with the Father, for a life that is living, walking, and praying in spirit and truth is one is submitted to His leading and guidance, for the one that lives in helpless submission and dependent upon the Holy Spirit, is the one that truly prays in the spirit. Further, We Are Not To Limit Our Prayers to those things that we consider appropriate, but we are to pray about all things with every kind of prayer, in the same helpless dependence upon God, knowing that He is not only willing and powerful enough to answer all our pleadings but are trusting Him, in His wisdom, to do only that which is best for us. Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.  Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, prayer is such a precious gift that You have given to us. Help us to live and pray in attitudes of helpless dependence on You. May we be alert and diligent in every kind of prayer. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |

The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
