“But when you pray, go into
your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your
Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you” (Matthew
6:6).
Just pray. No prayer goes unanswered.
Always remember that when things aren't right, or someone does something
wrong, it is at that moment that you are to pray. Don't run and
set that person straight, but pray for things that are wrong to be made right,
and for the heart of the person to be changed. And as you pray for another’s
heart to be changed, you will discover that prayer actually changes
you.
Don't hide from your
responsibility to pray. What is wrong in the world, in your country, with its
leadership, and with its people? Make these concerns the cry of
your heart. What is it you see in another person's life that is destroying
him? You hear of someone who is suffering and needs comfort. You hear of
someone who is dying and needs the Lord. You hear of someone in acute distress
that needs a divine touch. Make all these things which break your heart,
the very things that drive you to your knees.
There in your prayer closest you shall find one-on-one
spirit communion with the Lord that brings down walls, and changes the lives of
those for whom you plead mercy. There on your knees you can discover the humble
service of prayer that changes the world. You will see the hand of God touch
lives, realize miracles happen, and know lives have been changed. Every time
that you bow on your knees in prayer, heaven rejoices, and hell shakes. There is
great power in the prayer of one who surrenders his heart to the Lord in prayer.
“Let us then approach God’s throne of
grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in
our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
