Why?
The word pray and various other ways it has been said in the word has been said 375 times in the Bible!
There are so many different areas in your life you need prayer and in this blog series, we will be going through each area!
So let’s start with this:
What’s prayer ?
A Prayer is a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God.
(Check out Bible Dictionary App to see another definition of prayer .)
It’s a conversation with the one who created us! I don’t know about you but my prayer time is so important to me, I’ll be honest it’s not perfect. I’m a stay-at-home mama of 2 boys under the age of 3, some days my morning prayer time is quicker than I would want, and sometimes my night prayer time keeps me up a few hours longer than usual because I was lead to write or get into scripture.
Prayer can happen anywhere, At any given time! Prayer is your secret weapon against any attack that may come against you.
Our prayers have the power to change the world around us !
My favorite thing about it is that you don’t have to be perfect and the more you do it the better you get at it. I remember going from what I like to call “ safe prayers “ to some pretty big ones I like to call “ dangerous prayers”.
My First Prayer
So a little back story. My husband and I were newly married about 8 months at that time. We didn’t know the Lord how we know him now but we always knew he was around us.
We always knew we wanted children but something just wasn’t happening so we came to the Lord and gave not only our lives but the life of our unborn baby to him, and Man! he showed out (but let’s save that for another blog)
“ Lord, if you are real and if you even listen to people like us. We come to you humble to ask you to bless us with a child and we promise to dedicate our lives to you and our children. We will give up our sinful ways and live our life how you want. In Jesus name, Amen “.
We didn’t know how powerful that prayer would be, we didn’t know how much our lives would change after that.
- What is a safe prayer ?
A safe prayer is simple, surface level, you don’t really have to dig deep or put much thought into it. They are still very good, they still matter, they still are heard and even answered in God’s time but they aren’t life-changing.
Example : Lord , Bless me , help me have a good day.
- What is a dangerous prayer ?
A dangerous prayer is harder, it requires a level of maturity, it’s more than just thinking of yourself or what you want. A dangerous prayer required sacrifice. They can be uncomfortable, they can make you cry and they are life-changing.
Example : Lord , Show me how I can be a blessing today .
