Today’s Morning Word

Good morning 🌅

This morning’s word from Scripture…📖
Luke 18:1.

“Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart:”
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Praying at all times🛐…🤔❓️
It means…
“Keep on praying!”❗️

Apart from human beings…there are no animals that pray to God.
That is because humans alone were created in God’s image…and received the breath of life.
Only human beings, created by God, can pray to God❗️
…
Jeremiah 33:3.
…
“Call to Me, and I will answer and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
As it is written…
we pray with expectation toward God.
…
Prayer offered through the name of Jesus Christ…
crosses national borders.
From prayers for an entire nation to prayers for ourselves and those around us, prayer is effective.
Prayer through the name of Jesus Christ…
moves the hand of our heavenly Father❗️
…
✳️What kind of prayer is heard…🤔❓️
John 9:31 says…
“God does not listen to sinners.”
…
So first…
repentance. And humility.
…
Is the motive behind our prayer pleasing to God…?
1 John 5:14–15 tells us that when we ask anything according to God’s will, He hears us.
…
The Bible is a book of God’s promises.
…
Those who pray are changed more and more…
those who do not pray may someday drift away from God…😓
…
Let us pray with expectation toward God.
Shalom 😃
