#PrayOhio! 3 Things That Happen When We Pray
How important is prayer to you?
Why should it take a bad diagnosis, a major business loss, or a big problem to move prayer up in our daily action plan? How important is prayer to you?
I believe now is the time to find a way to bring prayer back into our personal lives.
3 Things That Happen When We Pray
1. We are depending on God.
- When we do not pray, we are depending on ourselves.
- Pray like it really matters in your life. Pray daily. Pray continually.
- Bring prayer back into your life.
2. We are walking in faith.
- Praying is faith. When we pray, we are declaring absolute dependence on the Lord and walking by faith in God alone.
- When we pray, we are trusting in the Lord completely. When we pray with another person, our faith increases. So does our expectancy.
3. We are acting upon God’s Word.
- When we pray anywhere about anything, we are acting upon God’s Word.
- That is why prayer is our greatest action. But always remember, prayer moves us to action.
This Is Why
- We pray because we depend on God.
- We pray because we want to walk by faith.
- We pray because we are acting upon God’s Word.
Is prayer important enough to you to do it daily?
