Prayer and
Praise Brings The Answer.
The Word of God teaches us how that praise with prayer
brings the answer to not only our needs but is able to to
exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask. God know what
we need ever more than we know.
- Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer
thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou
knowest not. When we pray, remember:
1. The love of God that wants the best for us.
A. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (KJV) Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this
is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
2. The wisdom of God that knows what is best for us.
A. Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
3. The power of God that can accomplish it.
A. Jeremiah 32:17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made
the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched
out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
a. Remember that the prospects are bright as the promises of
God.
B. "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for
God." William Carey
4. If the request is wrong, God says, "No."
If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow."
If you are wrong, God says, "Grow."
But if the request is right, the timing is right and you are
right, God says, "Go!"
5. Remember: Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch
in the same with thanksgiving;
A. "God's work is not man working for God; it is
God's own work, though often wrought through man's hands."
Hudson Taylor
B. Pray as if everything depends on God, then work as if
everything depends on you.
C. Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice
a man to cease from prayer.
D. More things are wrought by prayer than this world
dreams of. Alfred Lord Tennyson
