Acts 1:14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. ♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #438 Since Christ My Soul From Sin Set Free (#495 in previous version) When you pray, God is supposed to give you strength, but there are many people who don’t understand prayer or how to pray. Regardless of whether I pray or not, God’s will takes place. However, those who pray know God’s will and understand how God’s plan will unfold. Your worries, problems, weaknesses, and scars will be used by God as a foundation. If this is true, what is prayer?
1. Prayer is experiencing answers When you continuously receive God’s answers, prayer becomes meditation. Through the name of Jesus Christ, I have received salvation from separation from God, sin, curses, suffering, and being a slave to Satan. God now wants to use me to save lives. He desires that I give the hope of the Gospel to people who are weary and burdened. I know God’s will and God promises to be with me until the end of the age. I believe God is with me now and prayer is entrusting my life to him.
2. Prayer is having correct knowledge Although I am saved, I still have many doubts and worries and I become lazy concerning important things and I focus on unimportant things. Although the Gospel is perfect I falter when I listen to the words around me. Although I can’t change myself, God can change me. Prayer is knowing myself correctly. Prayer is remembering that I am always a child of God and enjoying the blessings given to me as a child of God. Although events and problems may follow me, if I understand my identity, then through those events and problems, I will discover answers.
3. Prayer is seeing the field correctly Our lives touch the world. Every day we go places, meet people, and we get involved in situations. That is my field. Prayer is being able to correctly see the field where I walk. We must discover the reason why God brought me to this place and allowed me to meet a person. When we meet a person prepared by God to listen to the Gospel, evangelism is not difficult. When we pray, God will open our eyes to see the region, the age, and the world.
