Text: Mark. 1:35, 1Thes. 5:17, Mk. 14:32-40
Introduction:
Prayer is a divine communication between man and God. (Mk 1:35); an act
Of Seeking God's mercy and favour. (Psalm 102:13) Prayer is also the only key that helps to sustain man's life and heart to live a holy, and acceptable Christian life. (IThes 5:17). Penitence, repentance and forgiveness are prerequisite to prayers that can sustain the heart against backsliding, lukewarmness and eternal destruction. (Mark 11:25-26).
Prayer is a means of sustaining the new heart against the flesh and a way of refreshing the soul during temptation and trials so as to keep the faith going. (Mk 14:38). Diligently seek God in your prayers especially at this Passion Week so that He can sustain your new heart.
