Uplift With Prayer

It is so unbelievably important that you pray at all times. Many people make the mistake of praying only when circumstances are in their favor. It is more important to pray at all times. It is easy to give all glory, honor, and praise when we are on the mountain top, but can we do it when we are in the valley.

The Bible teaches in Mark 11:22-24 says And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,Be taken up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." This is so powerful, it is telling you that if you seek God and tell him your prayers and believe it in your heart then you will receive what ever it is that you are praying for.

So you may come back and say, "If God is all knowing and he is the one that created me then I should not have to say anything, he should already know." This is true and God is all knowing and yes, He did create you in the image of Jesus Christ. However it is also important for us to make our requests known. When you pray it makes it so that you can give a voice to it and not something abstract.

Habakkuk 2:2-3ays "Write the vision: make it plain on tablets so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time it hastens to the end-It will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.

Always give God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit all of the praise, honor and glory first and foremost. Always know that God wants the absolute best for us while we are in the natural. That is why in John 3:16 He gave us his only begotten son Jesus Christ who sits on the right hand of the Father God. Let the Holy Spirit guide and direct your path.

Once you begin to pray keep a written record of your prayers. It is a wonderful way to go back and see how God has answered you. It shows you the almighty power of God. As we just learned in Mark 11, if we believe it without doubt it will come to pass. It may take a while, but God's word does not come back void and God does not lie.

We are to have all trust in God and Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are to trust without proof and without understanding. We are to seek God at all times.

Let the power of prayer move you closer to God.
