UNDERSTANDING WHAT PRAYER IS

in #steemchurch6 years ago (edited)

Before i go any further, it is good I explain to you what prayer is from the Bible stand point. This is necessary because it would make no meaning praying without point. This is necessary because it would make no meaning praying without understanding what prayer really is. Prayer is a communication between you and God in order to establish the will of God in your life and not the will of any man, situation and society. Prayer is not just talking to God all through. Prayer is talking with God in order to effect His purpose on the face of this earth. This means, every prayer must have an answer from the almighty God. You don't just talk to God, He also communicate with you as His father. Let's look at this biblical passage to establish this explanation about prayer from psalm 99:6-8.

Credit

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who gave honour to his name; they made prayers to the Lord, and he gave answers to them. (psalm 99:8)

His voice came to them from the pillar of cloud ; they kept his witness, and the law which he gave them. You gave them an answer, O Lord our God; you took away their sin, though you gave them punishment for their wrongdoing. (psalm 99:7)

My Mum always make i and my sister to pray at all times. In my home you dare not eat, or leave the home without prayer. Prayer is now part of me even in my school i made my friends to cultivate that habit of prayer.
