Daily Devotional (February-14-2025) PERSONAL PRAYER
Scripture Reference: Colossians 4:2 - ”Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving”
When it came to prayer the verse said that we should continue in it. Prayer I believe is an opportunity to engage God in a matter. Personal prayer is a must and all must endeavor to practice it. To many, prayer has become a battle between their soul and spirit. Everybody somehow prays, Muslims pray, Christians pray, etc. So prayer is not something new but it is unique and an advantage for Christians. Prayer is work because it requires our full self. It requires attention to God and to attract God’s attention. Prayer is not by force but optional. Learn to discipline your flesh and your senses under the obedience of your spirit.
It took Jesus three hours to pray and a fraction of a second to cast out devils and heal the sick. Prayer is a time which needs you to sacrifice. God needs you to allow Him to visit your family this year to put things in their rightful place.
Prayer is a necessity in bringing God into situations. If you are being forced to pray then you have not begin life yet! You are still a child if you can’t pray for just an hour. You are not ready for that next level if you can’t pray for an hour.
You are not ready to be married if you can’t stand and pray for an hour, because what good can you do for that man or woman. Get a prayer life different from the cooperate prayer. I understand that cooperate prayer is also important but there is none like individual prayer which builds your relationship with the Spirit of God.
PRAYER - Thank you Jesus for this gift of grace called prayer which is growing in the members of my soul and spirit. I’m burning for Jesus to the area of my World.
