Pray Through the Word of God

In order to be strengthened in our prayer lives we must pray through the Word of God. When we quote the Word of God in the Bible what he said to back up our request our supplications, our heart desires in our prayers to Him, we are praying through the Word of God.

When Christ’s words abide in us, the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ takes control of our thinking our decision makings, our prayer lives our relationships with friends and our children, families, relatives and as well as in our neighborhood.

Christ’s word is always alive and living in the hearts minds, and soul of believers. Christ word changes our values and it’s also re-arranged and reestablishes our life priorities. For example Jesus Christ our Lord stated in His words,

“Ask it shall be given you, seek you shall find, knock the door shall be opened, to whom asked received and to whom knock the door was opened to them.” (Luke 11:9-10). With this word in our mind, it shows us that our Lord encourages prayer without ceasing with perseverance in our prayers.

We must continue to ask, and keep on asking, seeking and knocking. When we continue asking it implies our consciousness of our need and our strong belief that God hears our prayer. Seeking also implies earnestness in our petitioning with our obedience, while we continue to exercise our patient and obedience to Christ’s will for our lives.
