1 Samuel 12:23 “Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.”
Let me ask you a candid straightforward question: Do you pray? Have you grown in your prayer life since you began your walk with the Lord? Have you come to realize that you can pray anytime & anywhere?
“Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons — but they are helpless against our prayers.” -Sidlow Baxter
It’s so true that prayer is the SECRET WEAPON of the Christian life. Like a countries military arsenal, there are all different weapons and if prayer was compared to one of the weapons of war… I would liken it to Nuclear Weapons. When God’s people pray, Satan’s schemes and plans completely fall apart. Most of us, know this is true and yet the question remains, and we looked at this in Sunday’s message, “Why Don’t We Pray More?” Click to listen to the message: https://ccgracefellowship.org/sermons/prayer-why-dont-we-pray-more-1-samuel-1223/
A woman went to Andrew Murray with the problem of feeling she couldn’t pray. He said, “Why then, do you not try this? As you go to your inner chamber, however cold and dark your heart may be, do not try in your own might to force yourself into the right attitude. Bow before Him, and tell Him that He sees in what a sad state you are and that your only hope is in Him. Trust Him, with a childlike trust, to have mercy upon you, and wait upon Him. In such a trust you are in a right relationship to Him. You have nothing — He has everything.” The woman later told Murray that his advice had helped her. She discovered that her trust in Christ’s love for her could help her pray, even when prayer did not come easily.
