Good Morning,
The day began with some Door County Jamaican Me Crazy Coffee and prayer. Two friends of mine are facing heart surgeries today. A third one is still recovering at home from his open heart surgery of a few weeks ago. I am praying for their healing.
I believe in prayer and that it is the God given right for man to call upon God on behalf of ourselves and for others. When we call out in prayer we are bringing God into the mix in any situation.
Billy Graham said this about prayer. "Prayer is spiritual communication between man and God, a two-way relationship in which man should not only talk to God but also listen to Him. Prayer to God is like a child's conversation with his father. It is natural for a child to ask his father for the things he needs."
We pray because God commands us to pray. We are to pray for our enemies. We are to ask and seek. We are to intercede for others as well as ourselves and our needs.
2Chronicals 7:14 If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
I believe that when we pray we should approach God, with reverence, respect, fear, thankfulness, and humility. Tomorrow we will talk some more about prayer.
Have a great day!!
Marty
