PRAY EARNESTLY
“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14 : 38 (NIV)
We are often happy and rejoice, but often sad and worried about the problems of life. What do we need to do? All we need to do is pray. pray to God that all your troubles and sorrows will be removed by God, because he is most helpful and understanding to his children in the world. but when we want to pray to God, we must pray earnestly so that our every request will be granted by God.
What makes prayer so important to our lives as God's faithful people? There are so many advantages in praying. That is by praying we will be much calmer when we are confused or in times of trouble. and by praying we will also get abundant blessings, because prayer itself is a channel of God's blessing for us as children of God. and prayer can also be important for us. because, it can make our faith strong, because when we pray it means we are talking to God which means we have heard what we need or what we want, with that our faith will be stronger because we have given up our lives to God.
and another reason when God rebuked his disciples in the garden of Gethsemane when they fell asleep when they should have prayed with God. Therefore, God invites the disciples to pray, because when we pray, we can avoid all kinds of trials. Indeed if we are negligent in praying we can fall into temptation. That's why we must diligently pray to God.
prayer makes us understand God's will, therefore when we want to ask God for anything we must pray to him, and also God will repay our answer through praying too, so by praying to God, all expectations of God listen and answer
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”
1 John 5 : 14 (NIV)
