Prayer Part 2

Summary:

We have our ideas of what to pray, but is it what God wants?

Prayer is not begging to God for something, it is asking for His will.

Show Notes:

• Lord, create in me a clean heart.

• We are here because someone prayed for us.

• Praying in tongues is allowing the Holy Spirit to speak/pray.

• The Holy Spirit knows the mind/heart of God.

• It is not my will, but Thy will be done.

References:

“Pray, then, in this way: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Therefore, my brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.

Quotes:

• Prayer can be worship.

• I need His love, I need His joy, I need His patience.

• He is the only provider, there is nowhere else to go.

• Let the Holy Spirit in you pray for them and you get out of the way.

• Ask for it, the ability to speak in tongues.

Take Away:

Our prayer is to see God’s will done in a person or situation, not our

will. Show us Your will, Father, in how to pray for these things.
