Have you ever noticed how much of the Bible is taken up with the subject of prayer? We scarcely open our Bibles and we read, “Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord,” and as we close the book, we read the “Amen” of an earnest supplication. Daniel prayed three times a day; David called upon his God with all his heart; Elijah prayed on a mountain; Paul and Silas prayed in a dungeon. If the Lord has said so much about prayer, it is because we are in need of it as long as we are in this world. A Christian who doesn’t pray will not have any spiritual power. As children of God, we should seek our Father’s face for daily grace and strength to honor Him. We can ask for patience and help to be a blessing to others and to be more for the glory of the Lord. The Scriptures exhort us to “continue in prayer” (Colossians 4:22Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; (Colossians 4:2)).
