Prayer as a Way of Life with Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio
Pray from Your Heart
‘…when you search for Me with all your heart.’ Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV
Today’s Devotion
God isn’t moved by your eloquence or the multiplicity of your words. He’s moved by a heart that spills the burdens of the day across the altar, exposing every pain to the power of a God who ‘can’. Can what? Can do whatever you have the faith to believe Him for. ‘…Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them’ (Mark 11:24 NKJV).
Your confidence in prayer is not based on your ability to speak, but on God’s ability to hear and understand. He knows what you are trying to say. The old hymn goes: ‘In seasons of distress and grief, my soul has often found relief. And oft escaped the tempter’s snare, by thy return, sweet hour of prayer.’ Either learn to pray, or become good at worrying! What you give to God, He handles. What you keep, you handle.
Spiritually, when everything is ‘going out’ and nothing’s ‘coming in’, you collapse under the weight of it all. Is that where you are today? If so, prayer is your answer. It restores what life depletes. When you pray you’re saying, ‘Lord, I believe You’re more competent to deal with this than I am, and I trust You to do it.’ When you pray that way, the heart of your boss is in God’s hands, the surgery you dread is in His hands, your children and your finances are in His hands. God is ready to intervene on your behalf – just pray from your heart. ‘Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass’ (Psalm 37:5 NKJV).
Parallel Verses: Gen 7-9, John 12:37-50, Ps 102:18-28, Pr 30:24-28
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father thank you for your Word today. I come before you with a humble heart today. Lord thank you for this Word that you are looking for our heart and our status . Lord thank you for searching our hearts when we pray. Lord may our prayer starting today must be from the bottom of our hearts as John Bunyan’s says that in prayer it is better to have heart without words than words without a heart. Lord empowers me to pray always and touch your heart so all our prayers reached in heaven and fill your vessels with our tears. As you have said Lord that when our tears will overflow then we will see your power and miraculous answer. Lord teaches us to intercede by heart in behalf of others for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior In Jesus name, Amen!.
