What is Your Prayer to God
Pray Without Ceasing.
We live in a world that seams to have many people declare themselves to be Christians and who claim to serve God. Many people claim to have a personal relationship with God. We see bumper stickers on many cars with “Christian” sayings, symbols and representations of their churches yet the world seems to be full of evil. Children are not safe in their schools. Violence in general is everywhere. There is less respect for authority and for our seniors and elders. The economy is bad. The gap between the rich and poor is ever widening. America is fighting two wars and there are threats of a third and fourth war. These are all things that require us to pray without ceasing.
Pray for Families.
There is an erosion of the family. More than 50% of all children are raised in single parent homes. Divorce is on a continual rise. Many people just choose not to marry. The extended families are even more distant and extended. With the erosion of families come the erosion of family values. We are not teaching our children to respect elders because the family structure is not in place. If the family is destroyed and rendered to little effect, then so is the community. The first institution God put into place was a marriage between Adam and Eve. The first thing Satan wanted to destroy was the tri fold relationship where the family trusted and obeyed God. To restore family and community we must restore the relationship and trust and obedience to God. This requires us to pray for our families and for our families to be praying families.
God Loves Us Unconditionally.
Despite our lack of trust and our lack of obedience God loves us unconditionally. His arms are wide open for our return to him. God continually gives us the call to come back to him. He loves us and he wants to be in relation with us. Through Jesus, God has made a way for all who believe to be made whole. All God requires is that we accept and believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. If we confess our sins God is faithful to forgive us. The with the covering of Jesus we can go to God in prayer and he will bless us with relationship with him. As we build this relationship with God through prayer, we build the family. As we build family we build community. The key is individual and corporate prayer. One person and one family at a time. With God’s unconditional love he will restore us to a right relationship with him. The answer is prayer.
What is Your Prayer to God?
In a general sense God wants us to pray without ceasing. He wants us to pray for everyone and every situation in our lives. God wants us to be aware and pray for the big situations going on in the world. But more importantly God wants to have an intimate personal relationship with you. What is going on in your life? Good, bad, indifferent whatever is going on in your life is a reason to talk and share it with God. This is the true ceaseless prayer that God wants from each of us. For prayer is a conversation with a superior that you know has the power and ability to answer and change things. Prayer is a conversation where you give and you receive. But, in your praying you must acknowledge that it is God’s Will that must be done and he will direct your path. God has plans that are good for you, plans that will prosper you yet we must submit our will to his will and he will answer our prayers. What is your prayer to God?
