Praying for the answer

I believe that prayer can change me and others for the better.  Yet, somedays, I find it difficult to pause long enough to pray. There are even times when I am so agitated and distressed that I forget how to pray.

Here is a simple formula.

1. Acknowledge the power of God (Father, Son, Spirit)

Think of God, the Father and the Son individually.  Recount the different things you know about God and His Power based on how God has led you, how God is described in the Bible, how other faithful people describe God.

1. Petition God for the desires of your heart.

Recount your worries, fears, anxieties.  Ask God for specific help.

1. Thank God for the help He has provided in past, present and future.

 

1. Praise Him for who He is and what He has done.

We are told when we pray, something supernatural happens.  Prayer does not summon God to our side because He is always there,  Instead, prayer allows us to see God, recall His acts and release our anxieties.  Prayer recharges our Spirit energy and gives us peace that passes all understanding.

It is a promise, darling.
