Prayer Is Power

       Prayer is not just communication to God but it is a personal relationship with Him. Prayer is giving permission to God for Him to intervene in your life or the life of others. God answers our prayer maybe YES, NO or WAIT. Yes because He granted your prayer at once in His perfect will. No because He has a best plan instead of what you are asking for. Wait because He has a perfect time.

      Have faith in your prayer as the bible says in the book of Mark 11:24 "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have receive it,and it will be yours."
      Pray until you pray, meaning seek/search, knock, ask passionately until you feel you are seriously praying. One of the most important Ingredients of prayer is to forgive who sinned against you so that God will also forgives. Therefore your prayer will be heard by God.

      Guidelines for prayer in Matt. 6:  (NIV)

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

In verse 9 shows that we should utter our adoration and to address our prayer to Father of fathers which is in heaven that is God.

Verse 10 declaring that we should allow or give permission to God for Him to move and do what is His perspective(perfect plan) on earth.

The kingdom of heaven will establish here on earth.

Verse 11 asking God to provide our daily bread. It can be food or needs everyday. Why daily? because we are expected to pray everyday for as to communicate to the One who created us.

Verse 12 tells us that we should forgive those who sinned against us for us to be forgiven by God. We are all sinners but if we truly ask forgiveness to God, He will grant it. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Verse 13 asking for His guidance in every circumstances that we will overcome trials and testing in life.

Lastly, before we end our prayer we should declare in the name of Jesus.

“I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14; see also 15:16; 16:23-24, 26)

These are the basic guidelines in prayer. May God bless us all as we go forth to His kingdom and worship the King of kings and the Lord of Lords Jesus.
