Prayer is a means of God's grace, designed to keep us from falling into disbelief, it is a way of communicating with Christ daily, and building ourselves up in Holy faith. Praying in the Word of God and asking the Holy Spirit to utter for us what we do not understand, is a great way to pray. One of my favorite prayers is the Jabez Prayer. Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain." Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested.
Our beloved Father, help us remember the Words that we have read and let us practice what we have learned. Lord, let us not follow those with their own agendas, those that cause divisions, and those with worldly minds; but keeps us in Your love, waiting anxiously for Your plan and Jesus return. Lord, baptize us in the Holy Spirit, to help pray in Spirit and forgive us for doubting You. Father, snatch our children and our children's children from the fire of hell and restore them to You. Now to Jesus who is able to keep us from stumbling, and to make us stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time now and forever. Amen.
