if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV
Our God is able to change minds, hearts, and nations.
It only takes trusting His promises and praying as His faithful in Christ.
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:6, ESV
If you only pray publically, are you really connected to God?
It is our quiet, personal time with God that empowers us in the Spirit and helps to conform us to the Son.
How do you grow if you never connect?
Give us this day our daily bread
Matthew 6:11, ESV
We trust and ask God to give us just enough for the day, that we may trust Him, depend on Him, and glorify Him.
“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning”
Joel 2:12, ESV
In this life, it is never too late to turn (or return) to God.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Seek His mercy and grace anew today.
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
3 John 1:2, ESV
This is no prosperity gospel teaching. It is a prayer that as we pursue Christ we remain or get healthy, but not a guarantee. That only comes at the resurrection.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:3, ESV
Do not merely test God. He says to earnestly seek Him, and, when you call to Him in faith believing Jesus is His Son who died for you, He will answer in ways you do not know.
Walk with Him. Talk with Him.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5-6, ESV
There is only one way we can be saved, through Christ.
There is only One to whom we should pray for all people and things in life, our Father in heaven.
We should give thanks and seek His face, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19, ESV
This is not promising you will have all you ask for or think you need.
Remember, God’s primary aim is to glorify His name, and He will meet those needs that help us bring Him glory through sharing the Gospel.
(But he does like giving us good gifts, too!)
“And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
Matthew 6:7-8 ESV
The difference between simply repeating a prayer and praying the same thing repeatedly is the first is doing a religious work while the second can be a sincere desire to hear/see God answer as you seek His presence.
But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Matthew 5:44, ESV
We are not to get vengeance. We are not to seek retribution.
We are to help fellow sinners get free from God’s wrath. If we refuse to love them, their trip to Hell may be on our own heads.
You want vengeance for their sin? Lead them to repentance through prayer and the Gospel.
