Prayer Time

How is your prayer life? Are you giving God any time of your busy day?

What is prayer time really like?



Regular prayer time is setting aside time to spend with God. Praising,

Thanking, Worshipping and Petitioning. We should take time to Praise

God in our prayers and Thanking Him for the things He has done for us.

The same way we praise and thank each other. Also, worship God for who

He is. He is God. The only God, The Almight God, who is worthy of our

worship and praise. Petitions are the things we ask for, our wants and

desires and needs for ourselves and others. Also, it's our time to ask for

forgiveness. We express our love for God and one another by having a

time of prayer.



The bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 to Pray without Ceasing. Uhm!!!

What does that look like? Are we to walk around with prayers constanlty

coming out of our mouths? I don't think so, how would we work or get

anything done if that is all we would be doing? Maybe it does mean for us

to be continually in an attitude of prayer. To think on God continually.



How about Pop-corn prayers? Little one liners of Thanksgiving and Praises

thru-out our day. Ex; Lord, I thank you for giving me a wonderful family;

Lord, I love you. We can never let God know enuif how thankful we are, or

how much we love Him. Give it a try.



Intercession is praying on behalf of another. In 1 John 2:1 it says we have an

advocate with the Father and that is Jesus Christ, the righteous. We on the

other hand can be an advocate for someone else. To pray on behalf of someone.

To keep our family and brothers and sisters in Christ before the Lord.



The greatest gift we can give one another is prayers... Annonymous



Prayer is greatly needed in our lives and for others. So are you willing to

set aside more time for God? or even to send up those Pop-corn prayers

during your busy day. God wants to hear from you.
