PRAYER FOR TODAY - April 20, 2015 (Understanding What It Means To Commune With God and Letting God and Surrendering Every Care, Worry, and Doubt)

Prayer should not be occasional.   The Bible says in Luke 18:1 that mean “ought to” always pray.  There are many things in life that we do, but the Bible says that prayer is something we ought to do.   You have to begin to pray on purpose with a purpose.     Understand the primary purpose in prayer should always be to commune with God.   To commune means to talk over and to discuss.    Although God knows everything that is going on in your life, He still wants you to talk it over with Him so that He can bring understanding to your life and be your source of help.   Communing with God says that you trust Him with every aspect in your life.   When you come to Him in prayer it says that you trust Him to take care of the people you are praying for, the job that you are looking for, the sickness that is coming against your body, the finances that you need.   It says that you surrender all to Him and it shows Him that you believe in His power and ability to take care of it all.  

Luke 18:1King James Version (KJV)18 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
 

“Father we come to You now, thanking You and praising You for who You are.  For You are our source of life.   You are our all and all.  Everything that we could ever need in life is found in You.   Father today we surrender all.  We surrender our cares, worries, and doubts.  We surrender our lives.   For we realize that it is only in You that we live, breathe, and have our being.  We understand that only You can deliver us in our time of need.   Father we come to You laying everything and everyone at Your feet and we ask that You move in and through our lives and theirs as only You can.    Father our hope and our trust are both in You.  We believe that You Father will work out everything that concerns us in life.   So we let go today and we surrender it all to You in Jesus name … Amen”
