Your Prayers Matter! | Pillars of The Church

The early church was committed to steadfastly continue in prayer.

So, if we as a church today believe that we should pray, then what keeps us from praying?

– WE DON’T KNOW HOW.
Prayer can be taught & learned. Jesus taught His disciples to pray.

– WE CAN BE LAZY.
Not wanting to put in the time & effort.

– WE WANT TO BE INDEPENDENT.
Pride won’t pray, it doesn’t need God. Humility prays, it’s dependent  on God.

– WE THINK IT DOESN’T MATTER OR MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Active, working & functioning prayer – it gets the job done!

Keep praying! It matters! It makes a difference! Our prayers are filling the golden bowls in heaven.  The goal in prayer is to align our hearts with God and to know what to pray.

“Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.” JAMES 5:16-18

 Acts 2:40-47, Luke 18:24, Luke 22:45-46, James 5:16-18, Revelation 8:1-5
