Bible Question:
Why is prayer such a difficult thing for Christians? I have been reading SECRETTS OF FAITH WELL LIVED, by Christopher Coppernoll. In the book Coppernoll interviews 14 different authors. Like Max Lucado, Brennan Manning, Steve Brown, and others well known. Every one spoke of how little Christians pray. Interesting was how many pastors admitted to having such a problem with their prayer life. With so much effort as we put into this Forum, do we have a full prayer life? I an searching for someone who has a prayer life that can tell me how they go about their prayer life that makes them feel effective. Thank you for who ever answers. agape, justme |
Bible Answer: justme, I am answering your question not because i do have a prayerful life but I'm trying with God's help to be one. There's this song that says "Prayer is the key to heaven and faith unlocks the door , Prayer without Faith is like a boat without an oar... and personally I find this true. I have this routinary prayer time aand to say some i do pray before going to bed,getting up, before meals, before i go out for work , before i read my bible... and it helps me lot i feel lead in everyway though circumstances may come the other way around, the thing is I prayed for it and I know in every result it, Gods answer to my prayer. God answers are prayers in 3 ways, Yes, No, and wait. He says yes when its for our good, He says No when its not for our good and Wait when its not yet the right time for us.Of course the Prayer with Faith is the one that works. The Lord has given as an example to have a prayerful life,He always go to solitary places for prayer, He asked His disciples to watch and pray that they may not fall into temptation. Hebrew 5:7 says " During the days of Jesus life on earth He offred up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the pone who could save him from death,and he was heard because of His reverent submission. Prayer is the way to our Heavenly Fathers heart. He's the line that never gets busy, He's always available , He just need our call Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me and I will answer thee and show the Great and unsearchable things you do not Know." Friend, let's start in our own selves to have a prayerful life and share the blessings we receive that they too may know How powerful Prayer is. God Bless! inheavenseyes |
