It’s a Privilege to Pray

Featured

God sits on His throne in His temple. Jesus sits beside Him, vigorously pleading for those He loves. For us. The Holy Spirit is there too. On our behalf He utters groans that words cannot express. And then there’s you. And me. Sitting here, yet welcomed into the presence of this Almighty God. (Psalm 11:4; 18:6, Jeremiah 50:34, Hebrews 7:24-25, Romans 8:26-27)

He invites us to come with confidence. (Hebrews 4:16)

He tells us our prayers are powerful and effective. (James 5:16)

He says pray about anything and everything. When we do He gives us His peace. (Philippians 4:5-6)

He tells us that faith the space of a mustard seed can says to a mountain, “Move!” and it will move. (Matthew 17:20)

God says He loves us more than we can know and that He is able and willing to do more than we ask or imagine. (Ephesians 3:18-20)

It is a privilege to pray.

Does Faith or Fear Inspire Your Prayer?

They were in a boat, on a lake, in a storm. Fearful, they cried, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked. (see Luke 8:22-25)

Pray with faith even when you are afraid.
