Divine Prayers

[BeStill&Know]

How much more - we would pray - if we knew - The Lords hands are holding ours - as His request are made through us ?
His Fatherly authority, love and compassionate desiring us to join with Him to fulfill His purpose?
How much would our faith solidify in prayer, in place of being tossed to and fro with every fickle feeling of doubt ?

I voted: "I am greatly blessed in my time with the Lord praying, and have seen miraculous results."

Because this is true for me. Knowing God is the best thing in my life.

 

[JCFantasy23]

I've definitely seen miraculous results, and prayer is one of the best things in my life, something I definitely enjoy as my preferred way to spend time with God. Lately it's been a little hit or miss but I think that's a me/growth thing. I go through that time to time, especially if I'm supposed to be working on something and haven't figured it out yet.

God answers my prayers which is how I know my beliefs/religion are true. The bible says:

1 John 3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

Since God answers my prayers I must be following His commandments and do the things that are pleasing to him.

If God does not answer your prayers then you need to start doing what God wants you to.

Same results, here. My faith in prayer is mostly weak, but there has been times in the past when the Spirit of the Lord
would descend upon me with His great faith (Not mine) to pray for things i had not even considered and had no interest in.
And he'd have me pray for hours, which I was not accustom to. But these prayers were answered not only in miraculous ways, but like a stone tossed into still waters, rippled outward in His earthly Kingdom. I still have wonderment in believing all that happened.

Prayer is my greatest blessing, answered prayer the blessing to many others that I get to witness it happening in their lives. Also knowing the deep connection to Him that is such a great assurance.

I don't think I've seen prayer (in the past) as my greatest blessing.
Probably due to the fact that, I am not aware of anyone in my family or past friends that I prayed for come to know the Lord. My family at that time (they are mainly all pasted) lived thousands of miles away and we were not close. Before my mother died, I had a sign that she was with the Lord.
A friend who was deeply involved in a cult, left it, but also threw out belief in the Lord as well.
So for other people like that, my prayers has not been fruitful.
Now, "for me" the Lord has answered miraculously.
And for well known people in the media and nations I did not know, that He had me pray for, also answered miraculously.
So it seems, in my case, that only the praying He directs me to are fruitful.

Agree that the prayers He directs us to, our obedience is what gets rewarded. I have unsaved family members also so evidently saved wasn't the answer to prayer but more in seeing answers of Him working in their lives where it wasn't evident before. I used to have a Godcan that used to sit on top of my fridge. In it I put prayers for things that were completely beyond my ability to mend. Months later I would reread them and it was amazing that what would be impossible for me to mend had been mended because God can. It was very rarely in the way I would have expected but it sure made me more aware of answered prayer.

Remember God's will, the most fruitful prayers are those that are Spirit led; as sometimes without realising it we pray out of selfishness. But if the Holy Spirit leads us in prayer the results are tremendous and our faith will rise from one lev to the next. Whatever situation that comes our way we will know to get on our knees and pray.

God-incidence - (instead of coincidence) I'm listening to a video right now, where the evangelist said,
1. EVERY MORNING PRAY COMMUNE READ HIS WORD IN THE SECRET PLACE
BE PREPARED ALWAYS IN THE WORD
2. SERVING JESUS MEANS DOING THINGS WITH THE SON ...CO-LABORING WITH GOD for HIS.........WILL
and another God -incidence is it's at 3:16 time on the video.

That is true discipline in the faith is very important. But it becomes an issue when you just start doing it out of duty instead of love. I think this is where many people go wrong when they start structuring their prayer life, but if we just go by the Spirit of God as He leads us we will never go wrong.
Because even when we read scripture He will reveal it to us; as opposed to when we just read because we ought to. Let's do it because we are doing it for our Abba Father. Remember the Jesus always said to the Pharisees and the Scribes concerning the issue of maintaining the Sabbath, that He would rather have mercy than sacrifice. This also applies to our prayer lives.
God help us

Agreed. That becomes boring at some point.

Not only FOR, but With our Father, through His Holy Spirit He teaches us all things.
