Knowing What Prayer Can Do

Matthew 6:6

Buy thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou  hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

When we pray to our heavenly Father we don't have to use big words, so that we may be seen and heard, for our fine vocabulary.  God knows our heart; He knows what we have need of before we ask Him.  Being sincere in our prayer life is what is needed, and asking for it in the name of Jesus.

When we pray secretly to God, He reward us openly, by making our request know publicly.  The sincere and humble prayer from our heart reaches His heart.



In Matthew 6

Jesus taught his disciples the model prayer. Being a child of God we have a personal relationship with Him and it shows up in our prayer life.

In distress, a prayer may simply be:  Lord have mercy on me.  Help me Lord.   Keep me Lord, etc....



Philippians 4:6 says,

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be make known unto God.


Prayers should always end with thanking the Lord for His goodness, mercy and what He is about to do in our life.


Lets contine to remember what prayer can do in our lives.


Until we meet again - soon.
