WHAT IS PRAYER?
Prayer is an intimate conversation with God that comes from a personal relationship with Him.
Anybody can pray, even a child in the simplest language, in fact it is a command to all God's children to pray. 1 Tess 5:17 says pray at all times, and Col 4:12 be persistent in prayer.
We do not only have a command from God that we must pray, we have an invitation to speak to Him about anything. So whenever we are in need, we should come bravely before the throne of our merciful God. There we will be treated with undeserved kindness, and we will find help. (Heb 4:16)
Prayer is not to give your wish list or shopping-list to God, it is not a way to manipulate Him so that you get the things that you desire. *

God is waiting for us to pray: The LORD said, I was ready to answer my people's prayers, but they did not pray. I was ready for them to find Me, but they did not even try. The nation did not pray to Me, even though I was always ready to answer, 'Here I am; I will help you.' (Isa 65:1)
Billy Graham said: If you do not feel like praying, it is a sure indication that you should start praying immediately
No one can believe the power of prayer, except the one who has learnt it from experience .. so, start praying, and experience the results in your life and the lifes of those whom you pray for! *

When good people pray, the LORD listens. (Prov 15:29)
When his people pray for help, He listens and rescues them from their troubles. (Ps 34:17)

The LORD is compassionate, and when you cry to Him for help, He will answer you. (Isa 30:19)

Remember: God answers prayers in three ways: He says YES, and gives you want you want, He says NO, and gives you something better, He says WAIT and gives you the best. *

SOME WARNINGS ABOUT PRAYER
Are there unconfessed sins in your heart and life?
Your sins are the roadblock between you and your God. That's why He doesn't answer your prayers or let you see his face. (Isa 59:2)
Do you worship idols?
these people are devoted to their idols, and they are allowing themselves to fall into sin. Should they be allowed to ask Me for help? (Eze 14:3)
Do you help others or are you stingy?
He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help. (Prov 21:13) *

Are there doubt or unbelieve in your heart?
But when you ask for something, you must have faith and not doubt. Anyone who doubts is like an ocean wave tossed around in a storm. (Jam 1:6)
Are you unforgiving or bitter?
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. (Mark 11:25)
Are you selfish in your prayers?
And when you ask, you do not receive it, because your motives are bad; you ask for things to use for your own pleasures. (Jam 4:3) *

HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PRAY
If you feel this way, you can pray the ACTS - prayer:
A - Adoration: in your prayer take time to praise and honour God for His goodness, mercy, kindness, glory, holiness, wisdom, love, faithfulness, salvation, etc. Exalt Him and glorify His name.
C - Confession: Ask God to reveal to you any sin that may be in your heart. Confess them one by one and thank Him for cleansing you through the blood of Jesus.
T - Thanksgiving: Thank God for what He does for you and others. Thank Him for Himself, his answers to prayers, and his blessings. Name specific things that you are grateful for.
S - Supplication: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God (Phi 4:6) Speak to God about your own specific needs or the needs of others. give us this day our daily bread. Pray for
yourself, your family, for the authorities, for the city and the country. *

GOD ALWAYS ANSWERS PRAYERS (Dr Robert Schuller)
When the idea is not right, God says NO
No - when the idea is not the best
No - when the idea is absolutely wrong
No - when though it may help you, it could create problems for someone else *

When the time is not right, God says SLOW
What a catastrophe it would be if God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers. Do you know what would happen? God would become your servant, not your master. Suddenly, God would be working for you, instead of you working for God.
Remember: God's delays are not God's denials. God's timing is perfect. Patience is what we need in prayer. *

When you are not right, God says GROW
The selfish person has to grow in unselfishness
The cautious person must grow courage
The timid person must grow in confidence
The dominating person must grow in sensitivity
The critical person must grow in tolerance
The negative person must grow in positive attitudes
The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people.

When everything is all right, God says GO
Then miracles happen:
A hopeless alcoholic is set free
A drug addict finds release
A doubter becomes as a child in his belief
Diseased tissue responds to treatment, and healing begins
The door to your dream suddenly swings open and there stands God, saying GO

This morning I was reading this over and over, and I suddenly realised how demanding we can get in prayers.
Jesus Lord, please forgive us for demanding miracles in our prayers.
Amen! *

Today Angus Buchan wrote this on his wall at facebook: today
Angus Buchan Like never ever before this is the time not to be influenced by man's opinions, or comments. Its only Gods opinion about the situation that means anything concrete. All the rest is pure speculation, and will make you depressed if you believe it. Jesus said : --- I will never leave you nor forsake you, Hebrews 1...3:5, we really need to start walking by faith, and not by sight, 2 Cor 5:7, because if Christ be for us, then who can stand against us Romans 8:32 God Bless,Angus *

I responded at the comments as follows:
This is just for me. My family want to throw me out of their house because I am jobless. The Lord shall protect me. Amen. Hallelujah. *

In resond, a stranger send me an inbox message:
Father God, I lift Gabriel up before you and ask that You will open doors for him to find not only any job, but one where he can shine for You. Lord, Your favour surrounds him, I thank You that You are for him and interested in every detail of his life, therefore, he is on the threshold of finding a great job. I ask this in Jesus Name. Amen
Now Gabriel, just begin to praise God for the job that is right around the corner, thank Him for what He is doing on your behalf and believe that it is already done.
God bless you. *
