Ask God Without Fear

He invites you to call out to Him in the day of trouble.

Yet To Be #192

Oh, why do you fear?
Why is your heart so cast down?
Did He not say ask anything?
He invites you to call out to Him in the day of trouble.
He wants you to turn to Him with all your heart and humble yourself, so shall you find rest in the time of need.
God said it.
We ought to believe it and take Him at His word.
He hears all your prayers and answers them all on time.
Ask and see if He will not open the heavens and pour out a blessing just for you.


(reference: Psalm 43:5, Jeremiah 33:3, James 4:10, Proverbs 3: 5-6)

A Matter of Praying…part 4 – Teach us how to pray

Prayer

No one can really teach you how to pray to God, save the Holy Spirit who dwells in every child of God. 

When we do not know what to say the Holy Spirit gives us the words.  Helps us to dig deep down and express our self. 

How to talk to God.

  1. Call him by his name. What do we call him when we try to talk to him? In any relationship we call that other person by their name. We ought to do the same with the Creator.  Call him, God.
  2. Get personal. As you get closer to him things will change. You will become more comfortable in addressing him.  The Aramaic term Abba appears 3 times in the Greek New testament. Some Christians translate it as “Daddy” as an intimate greeting. And another aspect that goes deeper in understanding the endearment of Abba is obedience.  “Father, I will obey.” (Romans 8:15)
  3. Reverence. He maybe our Father but he is not our old man.  We are to have respect for him in how we speak to him and how we come to him.  Come to him with all sincerity of heart and having a clean and free conscience. (Matthew 6:9-13)
  4. Keep it simple.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  If you want something Jesus says to ask for it.  “Ask and it shall be given unto you.” (Matthew 7:7)
  5. Never make a promise you can’t keep.  Don’t make a vow you can’t keep because God will hold you accountable.  Be careful what you say.  He hears every word and knows every deed.  Ecclesiastes 5:5
  6. Time.  Is there a good time? The best time or a better time to pray to God?  There is no fixed time to come to God.  You can come to him at anytime; He never sleeps. (Psalm 121:4)

“The Lord has heard my supplication, the Lord will receiver my prayer. – Psalm 6:9 Kjv

God hears every prayer and answers them all.  Sometimes the answer it yes, no or sometimes wait awhile.  The writer of this verse is positive. God hears and God will answer.  There are no doubts.
