The Importance of Prayers In Maintaining Your Peace Of Mind

The role of prayers in securing and maintaining your peace cannot be over-emphasized. A life without prayers is one full of troubles and that will soon be terminated. A prayerful person knows better not to play with his prayer time since experience has taught him that he rules over the devil on his knees. This post emphasizes the importance of prayer in maintaining your peace of mind.

"Prayer is not a check request asking for things from God. It is a deposit slip - a way of depositing God's character into our bankrupt souls." - Dutch Sheets,

"Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden." - Corrie Ten Boom

"Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." - J. Sidlow Baxter

"Work as if you were to live a hundred years, pray as if you were to die tomorrow." - Benjamin Franklin

Prayer is a dialogue between you and God; you talk and listen to God. It is the fastest and cheapest way to conquer situations because you are relating with the creator of the universe. Prayer gets things done in the right way. It is the channel of involving God in the affairs of men, except you pray God can do nothing about that situation. When you pray, things happen!

In 1 Thessalonians 5:17, as part of his last exhortations to the Thessalonians, Paul urged them to pray without ceasing, after which in verse 23 he prayed that the God of peace Himself would sanctify them completely. Prayer provokes the Prince of Peace to perfect all that concerns you. It is a must if you are to enjoy a peaceful life on earth.

The importance of Prayer in maintaining your peace of mind

Prayer prepares you for the day
Prayer is a way of depositing God's character of peace into our bankrupt souls. It equips you with the peace you need for the day. No challenge that comes your way will throw you off balance when you have had a quality time with God in prayer. The peace of God robs on you and envelops you such that no arrow shut against you gets at you. You will find yourself smiling and at peace when things seem not to be working as you desire; this is called the peace that passes all understanding - Philippians 4:7

When the multitude from the chief priest and elders of the people came to arrest Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:47-56, John 18), Jesus was at peace because He had just come from praying. On the other hand Peter who didn't pray with Christ as He had requested, had no peace of mind and was making mistakes and taking the wrong steps throughout that day. First he cut off the servant of the high Priest's right ear and Christ rebuked him for it. And not long after that he denied his master, Jesus, whom he had earlier on said he would lay down his life for - John 13:37. So prayer settles your mind and equips you to pursue and conquer the businesses of the day.

It gives you answers
Whenever you have answers to the bugging questions in your mind peace sets in. And prayer being a channel of receiving these answers from the "all knowing God" is therefore very instrumental to your peace of mind. When you pray God speaks to you; that is why you shouldn't do all the talking and then rush out. You should wait and listen to hear God's reply to your prayer.

Peter while praying got answers to the questions about Jews' conducts with the gentiles. So when he was faced with the issue of Cornelius he was at peace and when the Jews queried him about it, he boldly answered them without fearing what their response would be (Acts 10, 11:1-18). And many years after he still referred to the incidence to solve another problem - Acts 15:7.

It instills confidence and faith in you
Faith is a sign that you have peace of mind over an issue. When you spend time communicating with God in prayer, you will discover that gradually you are building your confidence in God, His word and in yourself. You develop full trust in God's ability to help you and handle issues that are concerns to you. The word of God in Hebrews 10:35, tells us that our confidence carries a great recompense of reward, one of which I believe is peace; you will know and believe that that troubling case is settled forever.

Paul having received answers from God concerning the raging storm in prayers had peace and was confident to announce to his ship mates that there would be no loss of life among them but only of the ship. He had full trust in God that it would be just as God told him - Acts 27:22-25. Your encounters with God in prayer give you confidence to face tomorrow, not just to pass through it but to conquer and subdue it.

A consistent prayer life builds faith in God in you that leaves you perpetually at peace at all times. You get to trust God that anytime you call upon Him He would answer, so that even when the storm of life is raging you are calm and calculated. This was the story of Daniel.

Daniel with death sentence over him and his friends boldly asked King Nebuchadnezzar for time, that he might give him the interpretation of his dream. He believed that all he needed was to pray to God for the interpretation of the dream and God would reveal it to him. He went into prayers with his friends seeking an interpretation of the king's dream from God and God revealed it to him. He then returned to the King with full assurance that he had the answer for the king and surely he had the answer; and not only were their lives spared, they were also promoted - Daniel 2:1-49.

Prayer makes every crooked path straight.
There are circumstances that are beyond our human comprehension and ability to solve but are no challenges at all to God. This is another reason why you need to pray. In prayer, you surrender these issues to God to handle for you. Yes, you work as if you have all the time in the world but then, you need to pray to God to ensure that you remain alive and victorious for each new day.

There are forces of darkness whose sole work is to steal, kill and destroy, and it's only our Lord Jesus who has come to give you life in abundance - John 10:10. So, you need to ensure that every detail of your life is under Christ's care. If you consider any concern too minute to be prayed for then don't turn it into a burden later.

Men may spurn your appeals, reject your message, oppose your arguments, despise your person, but they are helpless against your prayers. On your knees, you move mountains and Kings obey your commands. This is because the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord and like the rivers of water He turns it wherever He wishes - Proverbs 21:1

It is through prayers that you engage God to make the crooked places straight for you and to break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron - Isaiah 45:2. When you secure God's intervention, your peace of mind becomes automatic.

It establishes peace around you

If you want peace around you then you must pray it into existence. God in many scriptures emphasized the importance of prayer if you want to enjoy peace. In 1Timothy 2:1, He admonished us to pray for kings and all that are in authority so that we may live a quiet and peaceable life. And in Amos 6: 1-7, God rebuked all who were at ease in Zion when things were going wrong and told them that because of that they would go into captivity. When you choose not to pray when you see something small going wrong, know that before long it will become something big that will swallow up any peace you may have.

And in Isaiah 32:9-20, God also rebuked the women who were at ease and complacent. He warned them that if they didn't change they would see calamities upon calamities, troubles upon troubles; but that if they would pray and call down the Spirit of God upon them they would see fruitfulness, justice and righteous. And then, the people will dwell in peaceful habitation.

What you can't achieve because you are not in the political, economical or social position to do so, you can achieve on your knees. The peace you desire in your family, place of work or nation you can achieve through prayers. Every knee bows at the name of Jesus! What you don't want, you shouldn't just watch; do something about it and most importantly pray about it.

Now, prayer is not just saying something to God, it is praying from the heart, backed up with God's word and faith in Him. You may pray for an hour and still not pray, but when you meet with God even for a moment, you will be in touch with Him all through the day. Therefore, target to meet the Prince of peace in prayer, and peace will stay with you all day.

Prayer - What is it to a Christian?

"For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer,..." 1 Peter 3:12

According to the Bible, there was a time when God and Adam walked together in the garden and conversed as friend.

"Then prayer was as natural as conversation with a colleague or a lover" (Front leaf cover of Peter Yancey's book "PRAYER- Does it make any Difference?")

In the back flip cover of the same book, Yancey writes, "If prayer stands as a place where God and Human beings meet, then I must learn about prayer."

All human being pray regardless of their beliefs, men pray and have always prayed. History records prayers long before the time of Moses, and the Bible informs us that men shall pray to the end of time, even if it be only to the rocks and mountains.

Most of these ancient prayers were not, of course, prayers in a Biblical sense. They were generally offered only in times of emergencies, such as an earthquake, an important battle, a pestilence, prolonged drought, or some other great calamity. They were motivated by fear, often the desire for revenge on enemies; for the Christian concepts of love and concern for the welfare of others appear to be completely absent in some primitive peoples. Their prayers were prayers for themselves and for the destruction of their enemies. Utter selfishness lay at the root of such petitions.

Prayer is part of man's nature, whatever his skin. We call attention to this universal practice to stress the fact that prayer is a natural phenomenon common to all mankind. Many non-Christians pray habitually more than do Christians, as witness the Mohammedans and other Eastern religions. Prayer is inborn in man, a part of his nature. Missionaries capitalize on this implanted prayer habit and find it an excellent means to approach to uncivilized people. These people pray already. They need to have their prayers directed to the God of all, the One who made the heavens and the earth.

For the Christian, love of God is the true motive that leads him to pray. Fear, hatred of his enemies, selfishness, love of show, find no place in his thinking. He prays when he is in danger and asks God for protection from harm and accidents; he prays when he is sick or facing serious problems; but he has in mind that these are not the primary motives for prayer. The real ground lies deeper. Therefore, we find Daniel, when faced with the decree that under pain of death no one might pray to the God of heaven, "..., he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime". Daniel 6:10. He did not change his practice because of the decree. This illustrates Christian prayer at its best.

An appeal to God for help in time of crisis is right and proper. The Bible is filled with examples of this kind of prayer. However, we have to keep in mind that this is not to be the prevalent form of prayer, nor is it of the highest kind. Prayer should not be dependent on a crisis.

Some are reluctant to call on God when they face a difficult situation, because they have neglected prayer previously. However, God is always pleased to have us pray; so no one need feel hesitant. It sometimes takes a special event to start the prayer habit and supply the needed incentive; God recognizes this, and there are occasions when God Himself supplies the event. Israel "... wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses." Psalm 107:4-6. When some rebelled against the Lord, " and He humbled their heart with labor; they fell down, and none was helping. Then they cried to Jehovah in their distress, and He saved them out of their troubles." Psalms 107:12-13 "Fools are afflicted because of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities. Their soul hates all kinds of food; and they draw near the gates of death. Then they cry to Jehovah in their distress, and He saves them out of their troubles. "." Psalms 107:17-19 "They who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters; these see the works of Jehovah and His wonders in the deep. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves." Psalms 107:23-25 "And they cry to Jehovah in their trouble, and He brings them out of their troubles." Psalms 107:28

These incidents reveal that the Lord uses all manner of means to call men to Him. He did that in older times, and He does this today. God has many ways to incite men to prayer. The profound issues before the world teach men to pray as well as to think, and God uses them to further His aim.

At a time such as this, it is well for the people of God to take stock of themselves. Have they any power in prayer that the world does not have? Are they taking advantage of the power that is at their command? Have they learned to pray? Have they learned to wrestle with god in prayer? And are they finding in prayer their stay and help? "Men ought always to pray." In a special sense, this applies to our present time.

Prayer is the highest spiritual exercise of the soul. In its deeper form it passes into communication and fellowship with God, opens the doors to the throne room of the universe, and converses with God as with a friend. In the earthly temple, the Mosaic priest came nearest to God when morning and evening he offered incense on the altar. Likewise, the Christian comes closest to God in his daily devotions, as his prayers ascend with sweet incense of Christ's righteousness to the throne of the Almighty.

Some Christians consider prayer a duty to be discharged at stated times to please God. When they have performed their devotions, they rest content that they have done what is required of them. They feel that they have reminded God of what He might otherwise forget or neglect, but to which He will now doubtless give attention. God loves these dear souls who daily call upon Him as a matter of duty; and from heaven, He sends the answer to their prayers when it is most needed. He knows the sincere desire of their hearts and overlooks their imperfect approach.

Nevertheless, most Christians pray not as a matter of duty but because they feel the need of communion with their Maker. Some use prayer books and recite the beautifully worded prayers prepared for their use. Others pray extemporaneously, pouring out their soul's desire in their heart language that God understands. They pray for loved ones, for missionaries in far-off fields, for the sick and afflicted, for persecuted ones and those that suffer reproach for the Lord's sake; they humbly petition God for forgiveness for their many shortcomings and for daily strength, and then leave their case with God. God loves to hear them pray.

More Than a Duty

The Bible not only encourages us to pray, but commands it. "... men ought always to pray, and not to faint;..." Luke 18:1 says the Savior. This makes prayer a Christian duty that should on no account be neglected.

Nevertheless, to the true Christian, prayer is more than a duty: it is a high and blessed privilege. Paul speaks of love, as a duty when he says, "So ought men to love their wives..." Ephesians 5:28. There is indeed an "ought" phase to love as there is to prayer. However, in both cases the privilege phase far exceeds the duty aspect. No man truly loves his wife considers it his duty to do so. To him it is not a duty or a task; it is a privilege.

There are some vital questions that come to mind as we consider prayer. Some doubt that prayer accomplishes anything aside from the reflex influence it has on the one who prays. Does prayer ever change the mind of God and make Him alter His intent? Are answers to prayer only wishful thinking? Is prayer effective in the field of bodily infirmities? Is anyone ever healed of organic difficulty? Are souls saved because we pray? Is real communion with God possible? We shall consider these and other questions as we proceed. It is time that we face the subject of prayer realistically. This we shall do.

Prayer for You : Greatness and success is a very precious achievement

Greatness and success is a very precious achievement. Some people attained by fighting and struggling to get to the position they are. There was no way they could get there without a dogged determination and hard work, one example in the bible is David. Some other people get to that level by inheritance, these ones did not fight any battle. They simply occupied a great position because of the family they were born into, one good example in the bible is Solomon. Some others get to the position of great success by getting favor and help from someone else, Mordecai is an example of such, he became very great because he was promoted by the king.

It does not matter how you get there, either by fighting, inheriting or by receiving favor. All you need is to be successful in whatever you have chosen to do on earth. I pray that the grace of God that makes people rich and adds no sorrow will be your portion in the land of the living. One thing I want you to go away with is this, whether you are born to a great family or not, you too can attain to greatness in life. The truth is that those who achieved great honor and power by their own effort always enjoy self satisfaction.

I pray that the heaven will open for you today to empower you with strength and anointing you need to become great in life. The grace of God will come upon you that will make you worthy of the inheritance of the saints in light in Jesus name. God will give you the grace to be favored by those who will help you to accomplish greatness in destiny in Jesus name. God will open to you today a book of remembrance that will attract great blessings to your life in Jesus name. Please pray the following prayer for yourself.

1. Let every good thing that bitterness have destroyed in my life be restored to me today by your mercy oh Lord.
2. Lord help me to have a proper perspective of my life and the events surrounding me.
3. Please LORD, help me to know when to hold on to things, ideas or decision and when to let go.
4. LORD give me an eagle eye so as to be able to locate and recognize my helpers of destiny.
5. LORD, give me discerning spirit so I will be able to see the opportunities that's in adversity and the adversity in any opportunity.

The Perfect Prayer

Many people ask me about praying. As a spiritual advisor I pray with almost every one of my clients. I do not believe in any religion, but find strength and encouragement from all of the great masters and teachers of the Great Spirit. People always feel a great release when I pray and I would like to lay out what I have found to be the perfect prayer that is simple and easy to do every day. I choose no argument with those of various religious doctrines who oppose these ideas that I put forth, and ask only for the same courtesy in return.

I had a visitation with Jesus last year, this was not my first visitation with Jesus, and he laid out to me why this prayer was so important to say every day. No matter what religion or spiritual belief you have here is a wonderful outline of how to pray. You do not have to be a Christian for this to be effective because this prayer is perfect in its simplicity. Remember Jesus was not a Christian. I am spiritual and I do admire many of the teachings of Jesus.

I am going to break down each line of this prayer and show you why it's important in its beautiful simplicity.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (This is acknowledging the Divine Spirit and showing your belief in the sanctity of the creator.)

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Here you are expressing that all spiritual work be done on earth just like it is in spirit. You're also asking for the heavenly kingdom to be here now with you.)

Give us this day our daily bread. (You are asking for what you need today, not tomorrow-just for today.)

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Forgiveness of ourselves and those who have treated us badly is the foundation for spiritual growth.)

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: (It's easy to be tempted and here you are asking to be kept from temptation and any wrongdoing, which can be evil.)

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (Once again you are showing reverence for the power and glory of the Divine.)

You do not need to use vain repetitions because you think this will get the attention of God. Get alone and pray by yourself because this will give you time to quiet your mind and hear any messages God can give you. Praying in a group is good, but it will not help you get answers that you need or give you the perfect peace of the Divine.

God loves having time with you alone. He's always waiting for you and prayers are answered. Prayers are often answered in ways that we did not ask. The reason is God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. If you pray for just what you need for the day you will start finding openings in your life that you never had before.

Be patient and trust that God will take care of you. The Divine Creator knows what you need even before you ask. It's in the asking that the miracles occur.

Words and Prayers of Comfort for Today

THERE are times and seasons where life is terrible, lamentable, unbelievably painful; tragic beyond previous experience. Times and seasons where we're learning the sheer cavernous depths of seeming death in life. Times and seasons where a life ending precedes a life beginning. Times, prior to, 'when life can begin again'.

There is a sanctity in the pain if we take the Lord there with us. Fondly we'll reminisce over such times; but that is destined locale for a time months or years away. Let it come without pining for it. But let us be emphatic in the pining.

A personal prayer for the person whose prayer needs to be heard and answered:

Lord,
Allow me to be comforted by your prophets, your apostles, your Job, and your David. Show me in the pain of those biblical exemplars that I am, indeed, in esteemed company.

Help me to know your Presence by feeling you present there with me, as I bear these trials of helplessness, hopelessness, travail, and despair.

Revive me the day after my despairing.

Breathe your Holy Spirit through me, afresh, from within my inner being. Make hope rise inside me. Protect me from further attacks of the enemy.

And make me to hope upon your deliverance - that soon, someday very soon, I would overcome this grief. Help me a little more with each passing day to accept the realities that face me. Help me to face these realities with your grace empowering my patient, enduring response. Help me to be still in this crisis.

Amen.

There are many circumstances of life that can floor us. The gentle and therapeutic Presence of our Majesty-on-High is inside us as believers. That sweet therapy of his Presence is constantly available. We must be God-conscious, which is a consciousness of belief that he, Father-Son-Spirit, is with us, indelibly and with Spiritual reality, helping.

The comfort of him who comforts us is comfort enough for the moment. And for each moment, hence, faith is in resting in the comfort of the Comforter.

Comfort means "with strength," or to strengthen, support or console. The Holy Spirit, as Comforter, breathes life to strengthen us through consolation - meeting us wherever we're at. We cannot lose even in this loss.

Comfort is safety and a no-lose situation. We get what we need when we need comfort, knowing that getting comfort from God is what we need.

God knows the needs of our moment, and our moments are helped when we accept he will meet our needs.

A personal prayer for the person whose prayer needs to be heard and answered:

Oh Lord, comfort me.
Bring about your sweetest understanding ear, your warmest delight in me, and your cosiest hug. Meet me. Warm me from the inside out. Make these things I pray for, real in me, this moment.

In Jesus' compassionate name, I pray, Amen.

One day soon hope will return, and, without effort, joy and peace will prevail. And love will again be foundational upon our hearts, where fear, again, finds no place.

One day, soon. Tomorrow, even perhaps today.

Prayer for Those Who Really Need God's Help Today

GRACIOUS and merciful God,

God of our fathers, God of our forebears, God of those yet to be created,

You are our God, my God, and the LORD of all creation. You, and You alone, are the reason existence is, and You, alone, give everything its place and time and space, as only You ordain. You are to be magnified. You are to be exalted.

You are our Provider God; You pre-ordain everything to exist for its purpose. I pray, LORD, for Your covenant grace to pervade the place and time and space of those who truly need You today. And we all need You. Yet, there are some who need You especially today. Grace them by Your Presence, in their need, today, LORD. Help that person to know You are with them, in their midst, even today, even now, this moment. Give them a memorable piece of You. Give them what they have never had before. Or give them a remembrance for what was, perhaps years ago, a landmark experience of You. Thank You, LORD, that our deepest need, and Your worthiest provision, is to know You.

I pray by Your covenant mercy that You would look especially kindly to the poor today; to those without means of transport; to those who are oppressed; and, to those who find themselves trapped, confused, perplexed, abused, violated, upset, numb, afraid, and especially those who feel depressed. I pray Your emotional and spiritual healing over those who are vanquished of spirit and bereft of soul. I pray even Your anointing becomes to them that precious provision boosting them into new life.

For the incarcerated - whether by external authority or their own affliction - that You would open their minds and free them to choose for Your joy in their tumult. I pray for the shallow of heart that they would experience Your depth of expanse. I pray You would set free the captive; bind up the wounds of the broken-hearted; bring the oil of gladness in place of a spirit of despair. I pray perspective be theirs most who need it. I pray for Your special sight - Your glorious perception - to be in the person who reads this prayer.

Gracious, merciful, and most holy God, I beseech You in Jesus' name, that You would act upon the heart and cause the mind of anyone who reads this prayer to be renewed. Take them by surprise. Give them a hope that cannot be explained.

I pray that the needs of the needy would be known to You by their prayers; that they would pray knowing that You, the God of all creation, is listening and affirming.

A Prayer for the Healing Powers of Repentance

DEAR GOD of my creation,

Here is a prayer for Your worship, for my humility, to express my penitent joys, and to meet the desires of your Being; You're the grace of infinite pardons, but You don't leave me where I'm at.

ADORATION

You, who surrounds me with life and love, who enters life with me, who doesn't ever leave me nor forsake me; I am in awe of who You are and for what You've done. You're worthy of the highest imagined and manifold praise on the scaffold of Truth.

CONFESSION

Before You, O God, I suffer the indignity of being without my peace, because again I have not trusted You more completely than I should. I confess not simply my sin; I also confess my need of You; that in my turning back toward You, that You'd make me warrant the blessings I so often in life receive.

THANKSGIVING

From a time of adoration comes a time of thanksgiving, and today, LORD, I give You my hope, in the unadorned thanks of a Prodigal who comes home sheepishly, yet is met warmly. Ever more am I to be thankful, especially when I'm so involved in life that I add a sense of entitlement to it that ought always to be swiftfully repented of.

SUPPLICATION

Be mine as I'm Yours, too, Lord. Complete me as You protect me. Purge me of my fearful ways, and help me accept that I am, ever and always, where I should be. Give me the grace to deal with what troubles me. Now that I'm grateful, help me to stay that way. Help me understand the beauty in every experience. And help me to know Your teaching, and the appropriateness for my time in the lessons set before me.

I believe in the Power and in the name of Jesus.

How To Overcome The Weakness In Your Prayer Life Today

Do you struggle to pray? Do you wish your prayer life is stronger? Many people desire to pray effectively but don't know how to overcome the weakness they experience while praying. This post gives the solution to this challenge.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)

It shall come to pass in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil - Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV)

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses... - Romans 8:26 (NKJV)

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me - John 6:56-57 (NKJV)

The importance of prayer cannot be overemphasized. A solid prayer life is the foundation for a victorious Christian life. The enemy is aware of this, which is why he would do everything possible to hinder you from praying. One major way he achieves this is through the flesh.

Your spirit may be willing but if your flesh is weak, you will have a struggle to pray effectively. Therefore, the need for you to subdue the flesh becomes very crucial. The flesh wants to sleep when you want to pray. It wants to eat when you are fasting and praying. It wants to do any other thing other than empower your spirit.

You cannot subdue the flesh by your own strength. You need divine help to overcome the weakness in your prayer life.

The divine helps:

· Help of Jesus - Ask Jesus to help you subdue your flesh so that you can pray well.

You can pray effectively when Jesus strengthens you. Jesus prayed and strengthened Peter so he could lead the disciples and spread the gospel efficiently. Peter who was not able to stand for Christ before a maiden was now able to stand for Him before multitudes, including the priests.

· Help of the Holy Spirit - Ask the Spirit of God to help you in your weakness.

The Holy Spirit empowers your spirit to have dominion over your flesh. The twelve disciples of Christ could not pray with Jesus for one hour because of sleep. But after the baptism of The Holy Spirit, they didn't want to do any other thing except to give themselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

· Anointing oil - Use it to break the yoke on your prayer life

Anything that will not allow you to pray effectively is a yoke and needs to be destroyed. When you apply it in faith, the Spirit of God goes ahead to destroy the yoke. This is a mystery that God has made available for us to enjoy a victorious life. When Saul was anointed the king of Israel, the Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he prophesied with the prophets and was turned into another man.

· The Holy Communion - Administer it to yourself daily for strength.

The Communion is the body and blood of Jesus broken and shed for us so that we can live like Jesus. The life of a creature is in the blood. When you partake of the communion you partake of the life of Jesus: you are empowered to do what Christ could do, including praying effectively for a long time. The multitudes that believed in Christ continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in the breaking of bread and in prayers.

In conclusion, the weapons given above when engaged will certainly help you to overcome the weakness in your prayer life. For though we live in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons to fight the enemies of our victorious life. The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, including those against our effective life of prayer.

Prayer - For a Successful Life

We are instructed in the Bible to "pray, believing and you will receive". Prayer opens doors for your good. Belief is the key that opens the doors. Align yourself with God, ask for guidance for a successful life and you will have it. One successful thing after another will happen in your life. Prayer is always the solution. Prayer is a wish turned God-ward and God answers you. With God all things are possible. God is all powerful and knows no opposition and is the present help in time of trouble. If this is so-and daily proofs surrounds us-then prayer is the greatest force in all the world. No matter what the problem might be, no matter how great the difficulty or how complicated the matter seems to be, prayer can solve it and bring about a happy and joyous solution. After having prayed, you take whatever practical steps seem indicated, because your prayer will guide and direct your footsteps.

Prayer is contacting, communicating, and aligning your thought with the Infinite Intelligence which responds to the nature of your thought and belief. Prayer will bring forth whatever you need and want in your life, if you conform to the laws of your mind purposefully, sincerely, and righteously. Prayer constantly is bringing about the seemingly impossible and healing the so-called incurable. In the history of man, there is no conceivable problem that at some time has not been solved by prayer.

People of all ages, all countries, and all religions have believed in the miraculous power of prayer. "God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34) and He is available to all men, regardless of their race, creed or color.

There is marvelous protection in Psalm 91. By memorization, constant reiteration and the repetition of the truths contained in Psalm 91 soldiers going off to war or anyone in a hazardous situation have acquired the feeling of being watched over by an Overshadowing Presence. These truths sink down into the subconscious mind bringing about an inner conviction of Divine protection at all times. This is one of the miracles of prayer.

If you are bitter toward someone,cynical,do not practice the Golden Rule and or have hatred and envy toward someone else then pray the following prayer during the day and prior to falling asleep. "God's love flows through them, and I wish success and happiness and peace for all of them."

If your back is against the wall and you feel there is no way out or a solution, repeat the following prayer many times during the day and prior to falling asleep.

"I stand still, and I know there is a solution for through the wisdom of my subconscious mind. I accept the way out now and the happy ending in Divine order."

God already knows what we need before we ask. Truly the Bible says,"...Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."

Your Daily Prayer "I know that no matter what the negation of yesterday was, my prayer or affirmation of truth will rise triumphantly over it today.

"Today is God's day, it is a glorious day for me. I am full of peace, harmony, and joy. My faith is in the goodness of God, in the guidance of God, and in the love of God. I am absolutely convinced that my deeper mind receives the impress of my present thoughts now, and I am irresistibly attracting into my experience all the good things my heart desires. I now place all the reliance, faith, and trust in the power and wisdom of God within me; I am at peace.

A Prayer for You

A prayer for you as you are all that you are. There is no difference who you are as to the way your Heart operates. The pulsating moment with the Divine is right here, right now as you can attune yourself with your Source.

Dearest Beloved we declare in the present:

With gratitude for all that we are and all that we have, each moment being precious in our Hearts as the ever-lasting presence of the moment of truth inside me and all.

What can I do today to express you, Divine Beloved?

How can I be today to express your love, Divine Beloved?

Where can I direct my energy today to express your creativity, Divine Beloved?

As I sit still in this moment of connection I am directed to the presence of my Heart as my Heart beats with the Love of God. The Love of God in me as me as you as all. In the here and the now what IS is the presence of Love.

What and how I release my Love is up to me and I choose to create an atmosphere of Love in the Now as my thoughts first and then in action.

How can I be of service with the Love within me as the foundation of who I am?

Oh Divine Beloved, show me the way as I am one with you. I Love you and I know that you Love me for we are One.

Oh Divine Beloved, I am free as I am free of my limitations and I expand my boundaries to donate my Love to my Soul. My Soul being what IS, the presence of the Divine as me everlasting with Light as I am glowing.

As I close my eyes I attune to the Light within me and as I let go I can see, sense, hear and feel my Light calling out to me "We are One". I let myself be with my Light and I breathe into my Light and experience my light as me. I breathe again into my Light as I create Oneness inside, I create Oneness outside. I rejoice in the connection of the Oneness of the Souls.
For we are all One.

Dear Divine Beloved, I Love you and I know that you Love me too. There is never a moment when I'm alone for your Love is everlasting in my Heart and Soul. My Heart and Soul tickles with delight as I breathe into the truth of who I am. I am that I am the Divine Presence of the Allness as me here in the Now.

I am honored to be One in this life time with all that Is as this body as me. I am grateful for my mind, body, spirit and soul. I am grateful for all that I experience knowing that as I am called to evolve and learn I am One with you in my Heart and Soul.

I Love you Dear Beloved and I know that you Love me too.

And so it is. Bless you. Amen and I let it be.

Peace, I love you. I love you. I love you. FOR WE ARE ALL ONE.
