THOUGHTS ON PRAYER - Part 3

Where is the source of power of the believer? It’s in the closet, when we spend time with the Lord in prayer. Man’s natural ability is limited; our strength is easily exhausted, our patience is short. We need God to succeed, to act brotherly, to be wise, to do justly and walk humbly. Prayer is like a crystal clear water spring that rejuvenates life. But you need to drink from it; it’s not enough to look at it from afar. There are many blessings available from God to those who ask; the power to do mighty exploits that will bring glory to His Name. Would you ask Him just as Paul did to fill your life with God’s fullness?

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height, to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:14-21

Romans 12:12 reads “continuing steadfastly in prayer.” Read the verses that surround this passage and you will find that the source of all Christian graces and good deeds is prayer.
