Personal Prayer

  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you - Jeremiah 29:12.

               God will reward us openly as we pray to Him personally in secret. And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward  But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly - Matthew 6:5, 6. 

            Jesus went out alone to pray to God by Himself. Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God - Luke 6:12. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed - Mark 1:35. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray - Mathew 14:23.

            Let us personally make all our requests be known to God as He cares for us. Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you - 1 Peter 5:7. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God - Philippians 4:6. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit - Ephesians 6:18. 

                                                   

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for the privilege You have given us to carry everything to You in prayer. Help us to grow more in our personal prayer life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
