Prayer as a Way of
Life with Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio
LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY
(PART-2)
Today’s Wisdom
One of the dangers of being involved in
God’s work is that you can go for weeks, or even months, without praying. In a
survey of a thousand pastors, half acknowledged that they often went for long
periods without taking time to pray. They didn’t have a personal prayer life
beyond their function in church. Amazingly, they had preached entire sermons on
the topic, yet they themselves didn’t practice it. Can you relate? Jesus arose
before dawn and spent hours in prayer. He even prayed all night. And it showed.
His incredible success flowed out of the rich relationship He had with His
Father. He made deposits every morning so that He could make withdrawals all
day long.
One
Bible teacher writes: ‘I have gone from laboring and striving to pray for five
minutes every few days to enjoying—and actually personally needing and
wanting—beginning my day with prayer, then to praying throughout the day as
things come to my heart, and finally ending my day communicating with the Lord
as I fall asleep.
I
have moved from a sporadic, irregular prayer life to regular times of prayer
that are disciplined without being legalistic. Where I once thought I was
fulfilling an obligation to God by praying, I now realize that I absolutely
cannot survive a day and be satisfied…if I do not pray. I realize that prayer
is a great privilege, not a duty. I no longer approach God in fear, wondering
if He will really hear me and send an answer to my prayers. I now approach Him
boldly, as His Word teaches me to do, and with great expectation.’
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly
Father thank you for your Word today and for your teachings us to prioritize
our prayer life more than the ministry. Lord empowers me to pray regularly
every lost souls and the whole Church and not busy with every task without
prayer. Lord remind me that before I move every morning I will begin with
prayer that I may bless you Lord and you’ll be the center of our life’s mission
for your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen!

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 Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is the God’s promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the
