Power In Prayer Is Found In Persistence, Keeps You In The Presence Of God & Helps You Define & Refine Your Requests According To His Will & Proves Your Faith.

A person of gratitude will stand out!

The point of repentance & forgiveness is that it leads to reconciliation. It leads to a restored relationship. When God forgives you—and He most certainly will forgive you—He wants you to walk in fellowship with Him. He wants you to talk to Him & worship Him & live your entire day in His presence.

Who are you praying for today? Remember that prayer is not a ritual but a matter of the heart. To pray for someone else is an act of hidden kindness that only God sees. And because God alone sees your heart, he will hear your prayer and reward you in secret. We can touch people through prayer that we couldn’t touch any other way.

Often we simply don’t know what to say when we pray. I’m thinking especially of those moments when faced with a prayer list of friends, loved ones, neighbors, co-workers, missionaries, and others whom you hardly know at all?

Christian growth does not happen first by behaving better, but believing better—believing in bigger, deeper, brighter ways what Jesus has already secured for sinners. Charles Spurgeon says it quite simply: “If our debt was paid, it was paid & there is an end of it; a second payment cannot be demanded.” Is Jesus enough for you?

When it comes to salvation, there are only 2 places you can be: you’re either outside of Christ or you’re in Christ. If you are outside, you are condemned already (John 3:18). If you are in Christ, you are not condemned

One of the oldest prayers of the church contains only three words: “Come, Holy Spirit.” Here is the ultimate irony: Because the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to see spiritual truth, we need the Holy Spirit to understand the Holy Spirit! So we pray “Come, Holy Spirit & help us to know you better. Amen.”
