Prayer, a Privilege!Shembull

Prayer, a privilege

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16 ESV)

Prayer is such a privilege!

There was a time in which it took sacrifices and priests to approach God. Jesus bridged the gap between us and God. Every believer may go to God like a child to his or her father, full of trust and with the assurance that He is listening. As God's children, we cannot do without the care, kindness, forgiveness, and uplifting love of our Heavenly Father. This help He wants to give us as we need it.

Pause for a moment. Realize to Whom you direct your prayers:

God the Creator of heaven and earth, the Almighty.

That is, He is the One who really can do anything He has set His mind to do.

The Eternal One, Who was always there, Who always is and will be.

God our Father and God the Son, Who broke the power of sin and death forever.

God the Holy Spirit, Who is omnipresent and works wherever and whenever He wants.

With this God you can speak freely.

To this God you can safely open your heart and life, He will not fail you.

He has opened His heart for you.

His Son gave His life for you.

His Spirit always wants to come to your aid.

Prayer: Thank You, God, for the privilege of praying to You. Remind me again and again of Your constant presence.
