The Best of the Portals of Prayer

Read: Luke 6:12-16 // Psalm 6:9

“Always, keep on praying.”
Ephesians 6:18

A Time to Pray

Have you taken time to pray today? Prayer is an important part of the life of every Christian. In His Word, God has a lot to say about prayer. The Bible tells us that the Almighty God takes time and has the interest to hear our prayers, that He does so because by the death and resurrection of His Son we have been adopted as God’s children. It tells us that God desires that we pray for those who do not know Christ and for workers of His kingdom and for all in need. It encourages us to be persistent in prayer.
Jesus took time to pray, even all night long. He prayed before He selected His disciples. He prayed before He was arrested in Gethsemane. He prayed as He committed His soul to His Father when He about on Calvary’s cross.
Prayer, also, ought to be an important part of our daily life. Ask God for wisdom and direction for your life. Confess your sins every day and receive forgiveness, which is ours through faith in Christ Jesus. Thank God for giving you life and for giving you new life in Christ. Take time to pray. God is always ready and glad to listen.
