Are you praying?
God’s Word says:
I (Jesus), tell you the truth, My (our) Father will give you whatever you ask in My Name. Until now you have not asked for anything in My (Jesus’s) Name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. (John 16v23, 24)
With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints (the children of God). Jesus prayed for Himself, for all His Disciples and for all believers. (John 17), (Ephesians 6v18)
I urge, then, first of all, that prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all men – the testimony given in its proper time. (1 Timothy 2v1-6)
When I (The Lord), shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if My people who are called by My Name, will 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. (2Chronicles 7v13,14)
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I (The Lord), have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. (Jeremiah 29v7)
I (The Lord), tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. (Mathew 5v43-48).
For I (The Lord), know the plans for you, declares The Lord, “ plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29v11-13)
