Scripture Reading: Isaiah 55:10-11

“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, Making it bear and sprout, And providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So will My word be which goes out of My mouth; It will not return to Me void (useless, without result), Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”(AMP)

God who loves us won’t allow Himself to be used to serve envy and ambition. He wants us to bring our requests and petitions to Him with a spirit of humility, right motive in boundary to His will and trust. God wants us to trust Him in allowing Him to give us the good He has for us as a gift in His perfect time. We should not pray according to the world standard which can cause conflicts and strive. As Christians, we shouldn’t do whatever it takes to get what we want in this life even if it hurts other people, but we should acknowledge that all our plans are dependent on God, and He can change them at any moment.

God desires that we pray unto Him because he hears the prayer of the righteous (Proverb 15 vs 29b). He demands that we should ask, seek and knock (Matthew 7 vs 7). He said we should call upon him in the day of trouble and he will deliver us (Psalm 50 vs 15).

HOW CAN A BELIEVER PRAY RIGHT?

We can pray the right way by praying the word of God. His word is infallible. His word is His will. All we ever need to survive on earth is in the word of God.

Whatever He says he will do, he does and when we take his word back to Him in prayer, He is bound to answer. Go through today’s Scripture again, He honoured His word more than His name.

1) Search out the word of God concerning that need and remind him about his word: He is bound to answer. The promises of God abound in the scriptures. Study the word, extract the promise and cry unto God with it. Joshua 1:8 says; “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall read [and meditate on] it day and night, so that you may be careful to do [everything] in accordance with all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be successful.”(AMP). There’s no way you can pray right if you are not a lover of His word. Sit down with His word, study His word, meditate His word and pray His word out and there will be Great results. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

Prayer point: Dear Lord, I receive Great Grace to abide in your word and to pray in accordance to your will in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
