Prayer is the primary way to communicate with God,and from the days of Moses we see that the best time to talk to God is in the morning. This is the time that He has your undivided attention ,and you have His. This is the time that you are able to completly present yourself as a living sacrifice, Holy and acceptable unto Him,so that you can prove what is His good and acceptable will for you,as Romans 12:1&2 suggest. Morning prayers set you on the right path in obedience to Proverbs 3:5&6,which suggest that we should,trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not unto our own understanding,and in all our ways acknowledge Him ,and He shall direct out path. Which indicates that you should talk to Him first. It is also very important,that you should not be seen,when it’s time to pray privately,as God instructed Moses in Exodus 34:2-3. Then Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:5-7 not to pray openly on street or churches like hypocrites,but to pray in secret,and our Heavenly Father will reward us openly;and in Matthew 14:23 we see Jesus demonstrate this by sending the multitude away,and go up into the mountain to privately pray,He prayed until evening come,which means to know God’s will,you must spend time in His presence.To hear from God, you have to go alone, because,it’s not everything you can share with others. In Luke 22:41-44 we see that Jesus was going through a period where He could not share certain things with His disciples it was just between Him and God. He was making a request that He didn’t want no one to know about, and He prayed earnestly till His sweat turned into blood. However, the Lord sent and angel to strengthen Him and His advice was to pray so that we don’t fall into temptation, because His moment of agony was a temptation to quit and not accomplish the thrill of victory over death, the grave and sin. In Psalms 5:3 David said,”My voice you shall hear in the morning,O Lord;in the morning I will direct it to you,and I will look up”.
When you are in the presence of God in prayer, it is good to spend some time worshipping Him, instead of asking for things, and be ready or prepared to learn something;because you are in His classroom. From Moses to Jesus to us,we see the power of prayers. That’s why the Bible encourages us to pray without ceasing{ 1 Thessalonians 5:17} Because prayers give God access and permission to act on our behalf, to do things we cannot do and go to places we cannot go.
In Luke 18:1,Jesus said,that men ought always to pray,and not to faint. Then Ephesians 6:17 says that we should be praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit. If you don’t pray it means you are not connected to the vine,who is God.
