Unleash the Power of Prayerनमुना

Enter His Gates

My children know that whatever they need, I’ll give everything I have to supply it, but they can’t whine. I think God’s the same way in heaven. He doesn’t have a customer service department where you get to record your complaint calls. I don’t think He listens. Rather, He commands us to come before Him with thanksgiving and praise to bless His name! He says to give thanks “in all things” and not just when everything seems right and you feel thankful. You have to be thankful “always.”

Did you know that the “gates” David wrote about were where the judges sat, and that the “courts” were where the judges ruled? What the Bible is saying is that if you want God to rule on your behalf, don’t go into the heavenly places complaining about what’s wrong. Rather, lift up your hands and say, “God, thank You that You’ve brought me through storms before, and You’re going to bring me through this one. Thank You that You’re going to give me strength to overcome and victory in this battle and hope for tomorrow. Bring glory to Your great name.

Today’s Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, thank You that You are the glory and the lifter of my head. I enter Your gates with thanksgiving and Your courts with praise and raise my voice and ask You to rule my life for You are worthy. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
