Description
"My prayer life is weak." - If you've ever said those words, you're not alone. Many Christians desire, more than anything, to overcome spiritual weakness and have a prayer life that changes their life. If that's you, keep reading and discover how to develop a powerful prayer life today! Have you experienced effective prayer? The kind that changes lives? Have you encountered a dire situation-a crumbling marriage, poor health, fractured relationships, lack of funds, crippling unemployment or emotional hurt-and come through it with an even stronger faith, knowing without any doubt that your God is far greater and stronger than any adversity? If that's what you would like, then it's time to begin practicing life-changing prayer. It's time to direct your attention-your spirit and your mind-to the One who is able to "cause everything to work together for the good of those who love God" (Romans 8:28). It's only through Him that you'll experience the life change you so desperately desire. Boldly Approaching the Throne of Grace: Of course, even if you know just how important prayer is, you may still need to know how to pray effectively. Hebrews 4:16 gives you a clue: "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." Consider the word boldly. It's more than merely scooping up limited courage and peering into the Lord's throne room. When you come boldly into a place, it means you know you belong. When you come in faith, it means you know you have God's Word to strengthen and guide you. When you come humbly, it means you know you have His Spirit and recognize who He is. When you come expectantly, it means you acknowledge Him as your faithful High Priest. All of this leads to a confidence that has the power to transform you. Praying EffectivelyPrayer: is an important part of Christians' lives, yet some question whether their prayers are as effective as they could be. If that is you, then here are four steps to take to ensure that your prayers are effective: Step 1: Pray an Effective Prayer by Knowing What the Bible Says How can you pray in a way that pleases God if you don't know His nature? You won't know what He has promised. You won't know how He handles situations. You won't know what pleases or displeases Him. To pray more effectively, take time to get to know the One to whom you are praying-through His Word. Make Bible study part of your day...every day. Step 2: Pray an Effective Prayer by First Asking for Wisdom Before you ask God to solve a problem in your life, first ask Him for wisdom and for His perspective on it. Proverbs 4:7, KJV, calls wisdom "the principal thing," and James 1:5, KJV, says God will give you His wisdom liberally. No matter what prayer you want answered, first ask for God's wisdom to lead you. Step 3: Pray an Effective Prayer by Remaining in Faith Once you know what the Word says about your situation and you have God's perspective on it, then settle within yourself what He has said. Trust Him to keep His Word. Thank Him for leading you, guiding you and answering you. Don't let anything dissuade you from what the Lord has shown you. Stay faithful to the truth you have received. You can rest knowing that your heavenly Father hears and answers your prayers when you put these steps into practice. Find out what the Bible has to say, ask for wisdom, remain in faith, and live a life of forgiveness. You'll experience the joy of walking more closely with the Father and knowing that your prayers are effective Practical Prayer Tips Thankfully, in addition to understanding how to approach God's throne room and praying effectively, there are also practical ways you can strengthen your prayer life-practices you can implement to remind yourself of God faithfulness al...
