Day 11: The Importance of Prayer – By Howard Walker

Scripture: Ephesians 6:18; 1 Peter 5:8; James 5:16; Matthew 5:11

Devotion and Prayer: “Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request and stay alert with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.”

“Be sober-minded, be alert. Your adversary the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour.” “It is for this cause, Lord that we…Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.” May we always be mindful that we are… forever “blessed when they insult you and persecute you and falsely say every kind of evil against you because of me. They may, and absolutely some, will hate us because we speak the truth. Lord, may we continue to see your face and continue to grow in boldness - because we have become convinced that each moment of hatred we see and feel is an actual blessing to us. May we… Be glad and rejoice, because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets of old who were before you. Our rejoicing is linked to the fact that we see your Word living in our lives; though our times of great pain and experience of resentment towards us.
Lord, Just as Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite…. endured the pain of having two wives, the first named Hannah and Peninnah. … but the first, Hannah was childless. Yet, whenever Elkanah offered sacrifice - he offered a double portion of the meat from it to his wife Hannah - in the face of his pain lay. And after some time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son who became one of the great Old Testament prophets, Samuel … And Paul the apostle accepted the word from the Lord in his affliction. In the face of his great pain. Lord Jesus, help us! May we Lord be willing to accept the Mostly Godly fact as you told us. ”My grace is sufficient for thee.” In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
