出门在外也不愁Prayer Made Simple
Prayer Made Simple
By David J. Stewart | May 2012
without ceasing.” —1st Thessalonians 5:17
Quite frankly, PRAYER IS WORK. Colossians 4:12, “Epaphras, who is one of
you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always
labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand
perfect and complete in all the will of God.” I love that Scriptures.
Genuine prayer set aside as an activity by itself is work my friend. That's
why most people don't pray.
God wants to answer our prayers so much that He
has made it easy for us, so that no believer will have an excuse at the
Judgment Seat Of Christ not to pray (2nd Corinthians 5:9-11). Here are four
ways in which God makes it easier and more convenient for us to pray:
WE DON'T HAVE TO PRAY LONG.
First, Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:7 that we don't have to pray a long
time. God just wants us to know that we need Him. Matthew 6:7-8, “But
when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they
think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye
therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have
need of, before ye ask him.” So we don't have to pray for a long
time for our needs. God will provide. In fact, God provides when we
don't ask, because Luke 6:35 says “for he is kind unto the unthankful
and to the evil.” Psalms 145:9, “The LORD is good to all: and his tender
mercies are over all his works.”
It is a sin not to pray, akin to atheism. God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble (James 4:6). There
are answers to prayer that we WON'T receive if we fail to pray. God is
trying to get it to us.
Interestingly, James 4:8 is just a couple verses later and says if we
draw near to God, then He will draw near to us. Prayer is vital in
walking with God, for without prayer there is no walk with God.&
JESUS GAVE US A BASIC GUIDELINE TO
FOLLOW WHEN WE PRAY. Second, Jesus gave us a basic outline to
follow of WHAT to pray in Luke 11:2-4, “And he said unto them, When
ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy
kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day
by day our daily bread. And for we also forgive
every one that is indebted to us. And lead us but
deliver us from evil.” So God not only tells us that we don't have
to pray for a long period of time, but He has also given us a template
to get us started praying if we don't know how. We should begin each
prayer by bragging on God, for Who He is and what He does. And then pray
for His return, for daily provisions, for forgiveness and for God to
keep us from doing evil. No one can live above sin, but we can all live
above evil (premeditated sin). God has made it so easy for us to pray.
The Lord's prayer is really the disciple's prayer, because Jesus said,
“When ye pray...” The Bible gives us this basic outline to guide us what
to pray for.
WE CAN PRAY CONTINUALLY TO SPREAD
OUT OUR PRAYER REQUESTS. Third, 1st Thessalonians 5:17,
“Pray without ceasing.” God is so fair and practical. He says that
He doesn't want us to pray for a long time. And He gives us a guideline
to follow to get us started each day. And then He promises to be with us
in Spirit as we pray, to help our infirmities (weaknesses). And then God
says we can spread out our prayers throughout the day, getting our
requests to His throne of grace and mercy one way or another. What
wonderful truths! What an awesome God!!!
Although Jesus gave us a basic outline to follow in prayer, life is
complicated and there are many more things to pray about. Evidence of
this truth is found in Philippians 4:6, “Be but
in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your
requests be made known unto God.” So here we learn that we are to
pray for more than just the basic needs of daily provisions,
forgiveness, the Lord's will and to be delivered from evil. God tells us
not to be over-concerned about anything, but to cast it all upon Him in
prayer and trust Him (1st Peter 5:7).
Obviously, we have the guidelines of the Lord's Prayer to follow (Luke
11:2-4), beginning with bragging on God and then praying for our DAILY
needs, forgiveness and to be delivered from evil. The Bible tells us to
make our requests KNOWN unto God. If we don't ask, we don't get (James
4:2). Luke 11:9-10, “And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given
seek, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
For every one t and he
him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL INTERCEDE ON
OUR BEHALF WHEN WE PRAY, TO HELP US. Fourth, Romans 8:26-27,
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that
searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he
maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” I
love this Scripture passage. Not only does God tell us that we don't
have to pray for a long time, and not only has God given us an example
to follow, and not only does He allow us to spread out our prayers
throughout the da but He also will help us if we don't know what to pray,
and the Holy Spirit will speak on our behalf to the Father.
The Bible plainly states in Romans 8:26 that we don't know what we
should pray for. Now, maybe you think you know more than God, and that
you do know what to pray for, but my King James Bible says that I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO PRAY FOR and neither do you. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit
Who lives within (indwells) every believer intercedes on our behalf when
we pray. What a wonderful comfort and assurance. That's pretty good
insurance my friend. You can't go wrong when the Holy Spirit is holding
your hand and telling the Father what we really need. I think most of
our prayers are intercepted and the Holy Spirit has to make changes,
because we often pray for selfish things that would be harmful to us if
God gave us what we think we need.
The squeaky hinge gets the oil. God will likely provide for our
basic needs even if we don't ask, but then we've sinned by not thanking and
glorifying God in our everyday life. There are 86,400 seconds in each
day. Have you thanked God with just one of them? Notice in Philippians
4:6 that we are supposed to pray with thanksgiving. Philippians 4:7
promises the peace of God in our hearts if we'll just leave our burdens
with the Lord through prayer. Trust God and be fearless.
My friend, prayer couldn't be simpler. If you are busy, then God allows
you to pray throughout the day wherever you are at. If you aren't sure
how to get started, the Lord has provided a template for us to follow in
Luke 11:2-4. If you still aren't sure what to pray (and none of us are),
the Holy Spirit promises to intercede (mediate) on our behalf and to
tell the Father what we really need. The Holy Spirit always intercedes
on our behalf when we pray. And then God tells us not to pray for a long
time because there is no need... He already knows our needs and desires.
BUT HE DOES WANT US TO ASK, and it's not an option. If we don't pray, it
is only because we are sinfully proud and God will resist us for being
proud (James 4:6). To not pray is to tell God that we can make it on our
own and don't need His help.
This is one of the most important articles I've
ever written. I marvel when I think about these truths. No Christian will
have any excuse at the Judgment Seat Of Christ for not praying as they
should. You don't need to pray long, just pray. You can break apart your
prayers and fellowship with the Lord throughout the day, here and there. His
Holy Spirit lives inside every believer's body (1st Corinthians 3:16-17;
Romans 8:9). In a day's time, you'd be surprised how much total time you can
accumulate in prayer, if you'll pray continually. Of course, this means
having God and the things of Christ on our mind throughout the day in all we
do. Christianity is not about becoming religious only on S but
rather, abiding in Christ continually and allowing His Words to abide in us
as John 15:1-7 teaches.
God says don't pray long for your needs. He
further helps us by giving us a guideline to follow. And if that's not
encouragement enough to pray, the Lord says that we can space apart our
prayers throughout the day. And then God assures us that even though we
often don't know what to pray, He does and His Holy Spirit will intercede on
our behalf and help us. All we have to do is put forth the effort to simply
pray!!! God takes it from there. Isn't that beautiful?
Oh how God desires to answer our prayers and
get His blessings to us. Please read James 4:7-17 concerning the proper
attitude that every believer should have...
James 4:7-17, “Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands,
and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and
mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy
to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall
lift you up. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh
evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law,
and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of
the law, but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to
destroy: who art thou that judgest another? Go to now, ye that say, To
day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year,
and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the
morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a
little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the
Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. But now ye rejoice in
your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that
knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Do you know my friend that God loves you so
much that He chose to LIVE INSIDE EVERY BELIEVER as the Holy Spirit the
moment we are saved and for the rest of eternity (Romans 8:9)! Literally,
God wanted to live inside me and you if you are saved. If you're not a
Christian, then God very much wants you to become His child (2nd Peter 3:9).
It warms my soul to know that God lives in me and loves me, and has sealed
me with His Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13; 4:30).
Persevering Prayer
Answers To Prayer
Carefully notice in Luke 11:5-10 Jesus taught
about persevering prayer where we pray for OTHERS. This is where we ought to
spend the greater lengths of time, because there are many people to pray
for, and many spiritual as well as physical needs. Literally, God wants us
to stop thinking about ourselves all the time.
In Philippians 2:5 we are
told to have the mind of Christ, and in Philippians 2:4 (the Verse before)
we are told that Jesus thought on the things of others. Philippians
2:4-5, “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the
things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”
Jesus was concerned about OTHERS, not Himself. Oh, that we would learn
this truth as God's children!
So when you go to pray, spend a few minutes on
yourself and then spend some quality time praying for OTHERS in your life.
Prayer makes a difference! If we don't care about others, then how can we
reasonably expect God to cater to our selfishness. Most people pray for
themselves, and that's it. Then they wonder why God doesn't answer. It's a
total lack of faith. If God openly answered your prayers, then where is
No, the way God works is behind the scenes, in
ways unseen as Romans 1:20 teaches. It is the invisible things of God at
work that we cannot see, such as the angels, God's power and the Godhead.
When we pray we are looking to see God's eternal power, but the Bible says
it is invisible, seen only by the things which are made. Pray my friend, and
trust what you see around you as evidence that there is a God and He rewards
those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
Since God sees what we cannot see, then we must
trust Him, understanding that our prayers will often produce very different
results that what we had intended. Trust the Lord, for He cares for you (1st
Peter 5:7) and has promised to guide us (Proverbs 3:5-7). Do you know that
the Bible never says God will answer all our prayers? Rather, the Bible
teaches that if we acknowledge God in all our ways, then He will direct our
steps. Psalms 34:7, “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them
that fear him, and delivereth them.”
&And it came
to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray,
continued all night in prayer to God.& —Luke 6:12Prayer and the Difference It Makes | Focus on the Family

Throughout the Bible, believers are called to pray. But what is prayer? What does it mean to "pray without ceasing?" And does prayer really make a difference? Before delving too deeply into the topic of prayer, it will be beneficial to first define the term, as well as the focus of our prayers&God.
Prayer and God's Nature
Let's start with the second part. In order to develop a clear idea of prayer, we must first have a clear idea of God. Biblically speaking, God is a personal being. This is critical to prayer because it means that God is a person we can interact with, that He has a will and that we are able to relate to Him on a meaningful level. If He were impersonal, then prayer would not be meaningful. If He were personal, but uncaring and distant, prayer wouldn't serve a purpose.
Not only is God personal, He is also loving (1 John 4:8, 16; John 3:16). This is also important in relation to prayer. If God were personal, but uncaring or unkind, then prayer might do us more harm than good! But God is not only loving, He is all loving (omnibenevolent). In relation to prayer, this means that God always desires the best for us because He loves us.
God is also all powerful (omnipotent), meaning that no prayer is beyond His ability to answer, "For nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37). If God were less than all powerful, then we would have no assurance that He could answer or even hear our prayers.
The fact that God is all-knowing (omniscient) is also significant to the concept of prayer. If God were limited, then He would not know all that is happening in His creation. If this were the case, He might overlook our prayers because they might be beyond His knowledge. Fortunately, the Bible is clear that God knows everything (see, for instance, Psalm 139:2-4; 147: 4-5; Isaiah 46:10). In relation to God's omniscience, Jesus said, "Your Father knows what you need before you ask him" (Matthew 6:8).
God is also wise and holy. He knows what is best for us, as well as what will lead us to holiness rather than sin. He is also immanent, meaning that God is active in His creation in a personal way, not only directing greater matters of history, but also involved in the life of everyone. This means that no prayer is too great for Him, but also that no prayer is too small for Him.
While we cannot explore all of God's attributes here, one final one to note, of utmost importance to prayer is God's sovereignty. God is supremely in charge of everything that happens in His universe. Nothing takes Him by surprise and nothing happens in our lives without the knowledge of God, even though we may not always understand His actions: "'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,' declares the LORD. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts'" (Isaiah 55:8-9).
In hearing and responding to our prayers, then, we are assured that God will do so on the basis of His many attributes. His personal nature, love, power, knowledge, wisdom, holiness, immanence and sovereignty all play a role in how we relate to God in prayer and how He relates to us.
What Prayer Is Not
Now that we have a clearer understanding of God's nature, it may be tempting to delve right into a definition of prayer. But first let's take a brief look at what prayer is not (this is by no means an exhaustive list):
Prayer is not magic. We cannot summon God as though He were a genie, waiting to grant our wishes without regard for our circumstances or the consequences.
Prayer does not make demands. While we can make requests of God in prayer, we dare not make demands. God is the Creator of the universe and does not take orders from us.
Prayer is for our benefit, not God's. We need a relationship with God, available to us through Jesus Christ and engaged primarily through prayer, because we were made to function best when we are in a proper relationship with our Creator.
Prayer is not a guarantee against suffering. "In this world you will have trouble" (John 16:33); "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed" (1 Peter 4:12-13).
Prayer is not an opportunity for us to show off. "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men" (Matthew 6:5).
What is Prayer?
So what is prayer? Prayer is a relationship, wherein we humbly communicate, worship, and sincerely seek God's face, knowing that He hears us, loves us and will respond, though not always in a manner we may expect or desire. Prayer can encompass confession, praise, adoration, supplication, intercession and more.
In addition, our attitude in prayer is important. We must not be haughty, but humble (Ephesians 4:2; James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:6, etc.). Seen in this light, to "pray continually" (1 Thessalonians 5:17) means, in one sense, that we must always strive to have a prayerful attitude. Our prayers must come often and regularly, not from legalistic duty, but from a humble heart, realizing our dependence on God in every aspect of our lives.
The rest of the articles in this series will further explore prayer, as follows:
"Prayer Has Its Reasons" addresses questions about why we pray.
"The Availability of Prayer" explains how prayer is always available to us and, as such, is a wonderful spiritual resource we should turn to regularly, not just in times of crisis.
"Learning from the Prayer Life of Jesus" explores the many prayers of Jesus, emphasizing the Lord's Prayer, as well as some of Christ's habits of prayer and how we can learn from his example.
"Probing the Problems of Prayer" looks at some challenges and difficulties in relation to prayer, addressing questions such as, "Should we pray for our enemies?" and "If God is sovereign, why do we need to pray?"
As we journey together in understanding the nature and purpose of prayer, it is my prayer that God will bless these words and instill a joyful and fruitful prayer life in your life and mine. Prayer can make a profound difference in our world. But it is up to us to offer our prayers humbly and regularly.
