Prayers Work - By C D
SWANSON
Ah Lord God! Behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy
great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee
(Jeremiah 32:17 KJV)
Sometimes even the most devout Christian will be plagued
with self-doubt or worries. There may be
certain circumstances that’ll crop up in which we’ll become riddled with
anxiety. However, it’s how we “handle” the scenario that’ll make the
difference.
We know we “can’t”
do it alone; we need help from the Father. For nothing is impossible or too big
for Him. Our God is bigger than any
of our problems. When we go to Him in supplication and prayer, He’ll respond.
Prayers are answered, especially intercessory uniformed prayers. The smoke
rises straight up to the heavens. Our God reigns on heaven and earth. He’s the
power before the path in which we
walk. While praying, focus on His
greatness…our problems will diminish substantially. When we pray, we should
reflect on His sovereign magnitude.
Entire families in the Bible came together in prayer, in
fact prayer had a central and crucial part in the early churches; “And they continued steadfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
(Acts 2:42 KJV). God wants to involve
others in praying. Sometimes it might be what we’re praying for, or a different
outcome, but most important, it’ll be according to His perfect timing. He might ask us to take a step of faith. He
uses any opportunity to strengthen our faith and trust in Him. Prayer brings us
into God’s presence so we can receive strength and direction for life’s
challenges. Don’t be afraid or discouraged, trust Him… and be still.
