“Always Praying”
Ephesians 6:10-18; Psalms 103:2
The first prayer that God heard us pray was, “Lord have mercy on me a sinner and forgive me, this hour, for I am a needy creature.” We came under His drawing convicting power, because no man ever comes to God without being drawn to believe. Then after our initial sins were forgiven and blotted out, we found ourselves praying even the more; for ourselves, things and others. We are now going to prayer-school to learn how to communicate with our Heavenly Father. We must learn to pray for the grace of sanctification, for grace to hold us steady. We hunger for a fresh supply of daily assurance in faith, deliverance in times of temptations, help in our daily duty, and when trials come it’s not wrong to cry out for relief. We need God and He’s disappointed when we don’t call to Him and trust Him in all our matters.
God is the only place to find deliverance, if you have anything at all, it came down from God. And you’ll not get anything of eternal value, but from God! Holy manna, food from Heaven fills our very souls, water from the rock of ages, Jesus Christ, quenches our thirsting hearts-- "Come and drink ye all of it..."
We are people full of wants, “Ask and ye shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” The wants and needs are great, but the supply is greater from His bountiful storehouse. Your prayers are many, but His mercies are countless. He is hearing, He is strengthening you, and He is helping you as you ask; "We have not because we ask not.” (James 1:5)
“Mercy”
Doubting, trembling, yet I call,
Dishonoring, sinning, on the mercy seat I fall;
Blessings and benefits come from above,
With gratitude I acknowledge that
God is love.
