The other day I wrote on the subject of the Significance in prayer and why it is so important to do. Today I want to ask a question, what are our motives for praying? Do we pray to the Father just in the time of our need, do we pray concerning others, or do we pray out of selfishness? Where does your heart lie?
Matthew 6:21 (KJV)
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The greatest blessing lies in blessing someone else.
Have you ever experienced a time out of the blue when someone you weren’t even thinking about just popped in your mind? That may have been God putting that person on your mind because God wants you to pray for them. If we have never conditioned ourselves to pray for others then it’s more than likely that you never prayed for that person or situation when it came to you.
It’s ok to pray for our needs, but we shouldn’t make that the main focus of prayer. Let’s start interceding on the behalf of someone else.
Is your treasure consumed of the things of this world, or is your treasure in the heart of God?
God has placed on my heart to lift up President Obama in prayer. It doesn’t matter if you voted for him, or even agree with his policies. Let’s stand in agreement together that all his decisions come from God, and that he will not be deceived by wrong doers.
I Timothy 2:1-3 (KJV)
I exhort therefore that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
I pray this has been a blessing on your life.
