Prayer

Prayer

 

Prayer is the spiritual foundation for an effective church and outreach to the world.  Jesus told his disciples as recorded in Luke 10:2, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” 

 

And once the workers went into the fields, Paul asks for prayer, “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel [Ephesians 6:20]”, “And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.  Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should [Colossians 4:4].”

 

Paul also set the example in praying for other church people regarding their witness, “pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ [Philemon 1:6].”  Again in Luke 18:1, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.”

 

Prayer is also for our spiritual growth.  Colossians 1:9-10, “For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God.
