Prayer is Vital

Prayer is Vital.  Praying to the Creator of the Heavens and Earth is a privilege and responsibility.  We have direct and immediate access to the Spirit who is God the Giver.  He is the “heart Searcher” and hears all of our prayers. He encourages us to open our hearts to Him and ask Him for the things we need…not just physical, materialistic things, but also the inner things of the soul.   Building a strong prayer life is key in building our relationship with Him and in opening up the door for Him to become actively involved in our lives, and thereby answering ALL of our prayers!  The more promises of God I know and claim in my prayers the more evident it will be that He is providing what He promised.  God wants to abundantly bless His children with everything His Word gives us.  It’s up to us to ask with believing!

Here is an example of a Promise:  Prosperity and Health.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  III John 2

Just knowing God desires that we prosper and have good health in life is important, and now we can Pray for it!

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Psalm 37:4

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth (prevails) much.  James 5:16

Pray without ceasing.  I Thessalonians 5:17

And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask for anything that is in accordance with His will, He will listen to us.
And if we know that He listens to us in whatever we ask Him for, we know that we get from Him the things that we have asked Him for.  I John 5:14, 15

And it’s good to pray in the name of “Jesus Christ”.  (will explain later)
