Last time we asked What is prayer? It is two way communication between a human and God. Listening to and talking with God come naturally when you become His child by faith in Jesus.
You might ask- Does Prayer really work? Does God hear me, will He answer me? The Answer: Absolutely!!
Jesus taught in Matt 7:7 “ASK, and you will receive what you ask for.
SEEK, and you will find. KNOCK, and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. His instructions are clear!
There are some things we need to remember as we pray-
If we are doing or thinking sinful things we can block our prayer connection to God.
Psalm 66, If I regard sin in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
When we are walking obediently with Him, amazing things can happen!
The earnest prayer of a man in right standing with God has great power and wonderful results! James 5:16
Prayer answers come in different ways- Yes, No and wait! We trust God for what we need when we need it. His answer may be something spiritual, material or emotional. He sees all and knows what is best for us His children!
Waiting sometimes means He wants us to listen for His voice, to wait for His instructions- both in our heart and thru reading our Bible. Yup, He can speak to you thru those pages!
Prayer is real and prayer works! Millions of God followers have learned how and talk to our Father in Heaven every day! Go for it!
