“Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings”. Selah{Psalms 61:1-4}
Stay In Christ
Notice how Jesus emphasized the importance of His words abiding in our hearts as a prerequisite to answered prayer 🙏🏽. The value of this truth cannot be overemphasized; it is the absolute essential for effectual prayer 🙏🏽. We must learn to abide in Christ and to let His words abide in us. Abide in Christ and let His words abide in you; then you will ask what you will and it shall be done !
God Says:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame”.(Hosea 4:6-7).
It’s time to, Call Upon The Lord
“I have taken refuge in You O Lord.
Never let me be put to shame.
Save me because of Your righteousness.
Turn Your ear toward me.
Rescue me quickly.
Be a Rock of refuge for me.
A Strong Fortress to save me.
Indeed, You are my Rock and my Fortress.
For the sake of Your name,
Lead me and guide me.
You are my refuge,
So pull me out of the net that they have secretly laid for me.
Into Your hands I entrust my spirit.
You have rescued me O Lord, God of truth.
I hate those who cling to false gods, but I trust the Lord.
I will rejoice and be glad because of Your mercy.
You have seen my misery.
You have known the troubles in my soul.
You have not handed me over to the enemy.
You have set my feet in a place where I can move freely.
Have pity on me Lord because I am in distress.
I trust You, O Lord.
I said, “You are my God.”
My future is in Your hands.
O Lord, I have called on You,
So do not let me be put to shame.
Your kindness is so great!
You reserve it for those who fear You.
You hide them in the secret place of Your presence.
Thank the Lord!
When I was panic-stricken, I said,
“I have been cut off from Your sight.”
But You heard my pleas for mercy when I
cried out for Your help.
Love the Lord all you godly ones!
The Lord protects godly people.
Be strong, all who wait with hope for the Lord, and let your heart be courageous.
(Psalm 31:1-9&14-17&19-24)
Wait upon the Lord, be of good courage
and He shall direct your path……blessings always
