Prayer

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. - James 5:16

When we talk about prayer, it can be easy to want to ignore the fact that we should be praying as Christians. We'd rather do the fun stuff. Prayer takes work and it's a lot easier to sit and watch Netflix.

However, praying is an important part of our spiritual life as Christians. Kind of like brushing our teeth in the natural. It would be easier an d probably more fun to skip brushing your teeth , but personal hygiene like this is important to staying healthy.

Prayer is the same of us. It's an important part of our spiritual lives. 

The great thing about prayer is that according to the Bible it's powerful and effective. So while you think you might not be making a huge impact, your prayers do work and they are effective. 

So challenge yourself as we go into 2021 to begin praying if you haven't already. Prayer is powerful and it's effective. It's a great thing to develop and grow into. 

P - Praise for who is and what he has done. 
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

R - Repent of sins I have committed. Of commands I have neglected.
And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors.

A - Ask for the needs of others and needs for yourself.
Give us this day our daily bread and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

Y - Yield my will to God's will. My agenda to God's agenda for me
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven.
For thine is kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever, amen.
