Prayer is always an interesting subject because of the many aspects associated with the process. We know from previous discussions, prayer is nothing more than how we communicate with God. We now know that prayer will also strengthen us.
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7 TLB).
Worrying causes stress and stress can causes all kinds of other issues, mainly issues that can affect our health. Instead of worrying about things, we are told to pray about everything. And when we pray, we will experience God’s peace, which will keep our thoughts and our heart quiet and at rest.
“Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (I Thessalonians 5:17-18).
We are told to pray without ceasing. As we know, prayer is just a conversation between God and us, so basically God is telling us to “communicate with him without ceasing.” God is telling us that we should not cease to be in constant contact with him, constantly having a conversation with him, which will allow us to experience his peace.
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12 NIV)
Prayer should always be our first response to everything and never used as our last resort because we have become desperate and run out of options. We should devote ourselves to prayer and to being in constant communication with God. Prayer, that constant communication with God can actually strengthen your faith.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31 TLB).
We should never underestimate the power of prayer, especially when we do it the way God wants us to do it. Prayer can renew our strength. Cease not to pray. Cease not to constantly communicate with God. Prayer, constant communication with God, will strengthen us.
