The best way to start your day is with prayer. Prayer is communication with God. It is a medium by which mortal men encounter an immortal God.
Prayer is the act of speaking into the air from your heart, believing that there a person out there in outer space and in your heart who can both hear and grant your request because you have trusted Him. Prayer is a divine mystery that connects mortal men with the immortal God.
Why?
I encourage you to start your day with prayer because:
1. Jesus Christ started His day with prayer:
In Mark 1:35, the Bible teaches that the Lord woke up early before daybreak and started His day with prayer.
Prayer was His morning routine and habit. Remember that a disciple is not greater than his master, if the Master prayed, then you must pray too.
2. Prayer will awaken your senses:
Prayer is one of the great secrets to awaken your spiritual senses. Jeremiah 33:3 teaches that when we pray, God will show us great and hidden things which we know not.
Prayer brings awakening and information. When you pray, you see and know hidden things.
3. Those who pray achieve more:
Prayer releases the ability to do more. Prayer leads to greater performance. The Bible exhorts us to commit our ways to the Lord, and He will establish our going.
Prayer makes you strong and enables you to do more even in the face of adversity. Prayer is the key
What can you pray about?
There are many things you can pray about;
1. What you desire:
The Bible teaches in Mark 11:23-24 that you can pray about whatsoever things that you desire. As long as you can believe that you have it, it shall be done for you.
2. What you need:
The second category of things you can pray about is the things you need. Are there needs in your life? Are there things that you want? Just commit them to God in prayer.
3. What the Scriptures promise:
You may also pray about things that the Scriptures promise. When Daniel understood by the books of Jeremiah he prayed about them. The best form of prayer is to pray what God promises in His word.
4. Things that steal your peace:
The third thing to pray about is to pray about things that steal your peace. Pray about all afflictions and pray for the grace to overcome.
James 5 teaches that if any is afflicted he should pray. Prayer works wonders in face of adversity.
How do you pray?
- Find a place for a time
- The place should be free from interference and
- You must not be a source of nuisance to others
I do not doubt that God will keep and help you to start your day with prayer.
I love you
