Prayer as a Way of Life with Sis. Cristy and Bro. Rolly Custodio
LORD, TEACH ME TO PRAY (Part-4)
Today’s Devotion
Your
prayer style should be consistent with the way God designed you. Yes, you can
learn from people who are more experienced in prayer than you are, but you need
to be careful not to make them your standard, or become a ‘clone’. It’s wrong
to force yourself to do what others do, if you are not comfortable with it in
your spirit. Don’t try to keep up with someone else, or copy their prayer
style. And don’t feel compelled to work every prayer principle you have ever
learned, every time you pray.
Most
of us are afraid not to be like everyone else. We are more comfortable
following specified rules than daring to follow the leading of God’s Spirit.
When we follow man-made rules, we please people. But when we step out in faith
and follow God’s Spirit, we please Him. You don’t need to feel pressured to
pray a certain way, or for a certain length of time, or to focus on specific
things because other people are doing so. ‘Untie the boat from the dock,’ so to
speak, and let the tide of God’s Spirit take you wherever He wills.
When
you are in control, you know what will happen next. But when you let God’s
Spirit take the lead, you are in for a lot of surprises in life. Wonderful
surprises! You need to be determined to be yourself, and refuse to spend your
life feeling guilty because you’re not like somebody else. The Bible says, ‘He
fashions their hearts individually.’ So when it comes to prayer, the word for
you today is, ‘Be yourself’.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly
Father thank you for giving us freedom to exercise our prayer life. Lord enable
me to pray on the way that you want me to do and not on the basis of man’s will.
Help me Lord to pray always in Spirit and not according to my strength so that
I will not be pressure so that I have confident that your answer is certain and
within your will 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 Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom
of your heart you are now saved. It is the God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that
if you trust His Son Jesus you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of
God. In order to grow your faith in God please do this consistently starting
today;1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services
Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting and
Bible Study and serve God first place with your talent and money 5. Witness Jesus to others that they may
receive salvation saved too.
