When You Pray.Sample

Don’t Be Like The Heathen.

When you pray, Jesus declares in Matthew 6:7, “To not be like the heathen, who pray vain repetitions: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” 

When you pray, surrender your heart to God. When you pray, don’t be desirous for others to “see” you. Prayer is not a show or spectacle. Prayer is warfare. Prayer is an intimate communing with God. Prayer is an active engagement of Heaven’s Throne Room on Earth. There is power in prayer. 

In fact, according to 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ the Bible states that there’s healing when believers come together and pray, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 

Pray and seek God’s face. Seek God’s Will concerning the matter. When you pray seek God and not the approval or popularity of man. God wants to hear your heart. God wants to heal your heart. God wants to talk to you. God wants to commune with you. Prayer is not complicated. Simply, surrender yourself to Him and He’ll direct your path.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I repent of my sin and I turn wholeheartedly to You. 

Father, I surrender to Your Ways. I surrender my whole heart to You. I thank You that Jesus Christ died for my sin. His Blood takes away my shame. His Blood takes away my guilt. His Blood takes away the weight of the past. 

In You, there is no condemnation. I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Lord, lead me. In You, I am set free. I am forever Yours. In Jesus Name. Amen.
