PRAYERS should be a lifestyle ,and a necessity for believers . IF YOU ONLY PRAY WHEN YOU WANT SOMETHING FROM GOD; YOU ARE IN TROUBLE. PRAYER GOES WHERE WE CANNOT GO,DO WHAT WE CANNOT DO, AND GIVE GOD ACCESS TO INTERVENE ON OUR BEHALF.

“You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. YET YOU DO NOT HAVE BECAUSE YOU DO NOT ASK. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.  Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:2-4 NKJV).

WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE, AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD AND YOU. HE SAYS:

” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and PRAY to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” ( Jeremiah 29: 11-13 NKJV).

“Watch and PRAY, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26: 41 NKJV).

“Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to PRAY and not lose heart,..( Luke 18 :1 NKJV).

“Rejoice always, PRAY without ceasing,  in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you..”( 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 NKJV).

“PRAYING always with all PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—..” (Ephesians 6 : 18 NKJV).

” Confess your trespasses to one another, and PRAY for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent PRAYER of a righteous man avails much. ” ( James 5 :16 NKJV).

” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION, with THANKSGIVING, let your requests be made known to God;  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” ( Philippians 4 : 6-8 NKJV).

“For if I PRAY in a tongue, my spirit PRAYS, but my understanding is unfruitful.  What is the conclusion then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will also PRAY with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.”( 1 Corinthians 14 : 14-15 NKJV).

” casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.” [ Peter 5: 7-11 NKJV ].
