Prayer

By: Crystal Keasling

Have you ever heard the quote ” More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered one” This quote was by Mother Theresa.

Yes God does answer prayers but does he answer all of them? This is what I am going to help you understand today.

1. Yes God does answer prayers as long as they are according to Gods will. Many think that they can jusy pray for a new bike and they get it and then get discouraged but if you read Gods word then you will know he says pray according to my will.God will cast away fears if you trust and pray to him.
2. God says his prayers are pure. Gods prayers are of the purest he dosnt want us to wish for wordly or lustful things he wants us to pray for things that wont make us sin.
3. Pray to honour God. Thank god for everything he has given you. Without the love he has we wouldnt not have the great salvation that we have today we would not have everythingwe do. He has give us so much. Is it really that hard to pray to him?
4. When we are in fear pray. God will protect you when you are in danger you are his child and he can and will protect you. Whenever you are in trouble pray to God and ask him to help you.
5. Pray to God for growth. God say to grow as good Godly christian we must pray to him. Pray to him and ask him to help you with your problems he surely will help you.
6. If you havnt already pray to God for Salvation by Grace. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” God sent his son to die on the cross for us. Jesus never sinned once He didnt deserve to die but it was all in God’s great plan. He Sent Jesus and that day when he died at Calvary the blood that he shed made us white as snow. If you read in the bible Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” We deserve to die for our sins but God has given us a way to be forgiven. All you have ti do is pray and ask the Lord to forgive you and he shall.
7. Pray for Hope. Sometimes in the worst situations theres is hope in God. He can help you because he know your every problem. Sometimes the Lord has to takesomeone that we love but in the end he always has a reason for it. God has a reason foreverything he does. Trust him he will never take you down the wrong path.

I have given you 7 reasons to pray to God but there are so many more. God sent his only son to die for you so is asking you to serve him such a hard thing to ask? God loves us but he also wants us to pray to him to show him how much we love him. Dont pray because people make you Pray because you want to love and honor God.
