Prayer Needs

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God … shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”  Phil. 4:6,7

     The Energy We Use (Ephesians 6:18-24)
Prayer is the energy that enables the Christian soldier to wear
the armor and wield the sword

      Pray always. "Pray without ceasing" ( 1 Thes. 5:17) says to us, "Always be in communion with
  the Lord. Keep the receiver off the hook

      Pray with all prayer. There is more than one kind of praying: prayer, supplication, intercession,
  thanksgiving (Phil. 4:6; 1 Tim. 2:1). The believer who prays only to ask for things is missing out on
  blessings that come with intercessions and giving of thanks.

      Pray in the Spirit. The Bible formula is that we pray to the Father, through the Son, and in the    
  Spirit. Romans 8:26-27 tells us that only in the Spirit's power can we pray in the will of God.

      Pray with your eyes open. Watching means "keeping on the alert." The phrase "watch and pray"
  occurs often in the Bible. When Nehemiah was repairing the walls of Jerusalem, and the enemy was
  trying to stop the work, Nehemiah defeated the enemy by watching and praying, "Nevertheless we
  made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch" (Neh. 4-9). "Watch and pray" is the secret of victory
  over the world (Mar 13:33), the flesh (Mark 14:38), and the devil (Eph. 6:18).

      Keep on praying. The word perseverance simply means "to stick to it and not quit." The early
  believers prayed this way (Acts 1:14; 2:42; 6:4); and we also should pray this way (Rom. 12:12).

     Pray for all the saints. The Lord's Prayer begins with "Our Father" - not "My Father." We pray as
  part of a great family that is also talking to God, and we ought to pray for the other members of the
  family.
