Thank you for your article. I have also realised that prayer is far from those that think salvation is a result of their good works. Dependence on Jesus results in us needing more of Him. Eternal gratitude for his grace shown by his death and his mercy brings us even closer to him through prayer. Being religious chokes prayer out of our lives as we realise there are no results from obligatory prayers.

Hi Ceidre, Thank you for your insightful comments about prayer. I can see you are very well read. Thank you for sharing how you recently startied a morning prayer time with a friend five days a week. That’s an inspiration to me. Perhaps I will do something similar soon. May the LORD bless you to start your own blog soon to inspire and encourage your followers! Joseph

Randy – What a beautiful and life empowering post! Thank You. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such people as yourself, others in our Web 2.0 Tribe, and the body at large, that truly love and commune with God and then share the blessings. We are indeed a people that are blessed to be a blessing! That’s why we need each other so much. God sure knows what He is doing when He builds a family.

Don’t stop the blessing river,
Nancy

So true about Prayer being so powerful! We, myself and a friend of mine decided to pray together every morning Monday to Friday. We started this a couple of weeks ago and I have really found it strengthening and uplifting. Its like iron sharpening iron.

In “Steps to Christ” it says “Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him”

You mention about Ministers of God praying so little in the same book it says:

“Our heavenly Father waits to bestow upon us the fullness of His blessing. It is our privilege to drink largely at the fountain of boundless love. What a wonder it is that we pray so little! God is ready and willing to hear the sincere prayer of the humblest of His children, and yet there is much manifest reluctance on our part to make known our wants to God.

What can the angels of heaven think of poor helpless human beings, who are subject to temptation, when God’s heart of infinite love yearns toward, them, ready to give them more than they can ask or think, and yet they pray so little and have so little faith. The angels love to bow before God; they love to be near Him. They regard communion with God as their highest joy; and yet the children of earth, who need so much the help that God only can give, seem satisfied to walk without the light of His Spirit, the companionship of His presence.”
