making time

Posted by admin on August 22nd, 2008 filed in prayer

Sometimes making time to spend in prayer is hard. We are told that it’s important to spend time with the Father. Yeshua has given us a outline of how to pray. I am not saying I haven’t been praying, because I have been. I was thinking a little bit ago that I haven’t really been praying about other things, like what should I do about Children worship. It’s important when leading worship even if it for children to ask the L-rd what to do, and ask for guidance.
We as believer need to both spend time in studying his word, and spending time in our prayer closet. It’s important to pray for our loved ones or even people we don’t really know. In the bible from Genesis to Revelation it talks about prayer and how important it is, it shows the power of prayer. In Genesis prayed to G-d for his barren wife. We know being barren wasn’t a good thing in their mind because G-d had told us to fill the earth, he wanted us to have children. Sometimes I wonder if he did this to show us what it’s like. Don’t get me wrong kids are great but they are challenging.
Moshe went to G-d on behalf of Israel several times, and this includes during times of war. When Moshe had his hands lifted up to G-d they were winning their battle when his arms fall they started losing.
In the Book of Luke, shortly before Yeshua was walking among us, Zechariah was praying for a child. An Angel of the L-rd appeared to him. He was told he would have a son.
Yeshua in the garden prayed for us and encouraged his disciples to pray with him, and for him, but we all know they fall a sleep. Yeshua was teaching us a lesson her, have we learned it, to a point I believe we have.
All of the examples I see in the bible of Prayer, show how G-d can work with us when we just ask. We are told we have not because we ask not. It’s like when my shower doesn’t want to give me hot water through the shower faucets. If I do not let my apartment manager now that my water is going from hot to cold and back to hot, burning hot in both my husband and my shower, how can they fix it. I am not saying G-d is like this because he knows when things are broken, but I think he wants us to ask Him. It is a part of a relationship, we have to ask our parents for things we want growing up. I know my mom knew a lot about what I wanted like if I needed shoes she knew about it, but I still had to ask sometimes.
