In our trusting God in our Seeking His Kingdom, we ask for prayers.  In believing the power that comes in prayers, we build our trust in God; in our patience we see and sometimes feel the results, and in those results, we build Trust and patience.

It is most pleasing to God that we ask others for prayers as it justifies the faith that He has put in us for Him.

To build our strength we would not buy a bicycle and let it sit and in the same manner we have to exercise our faith to build our greater use of it.  Asking for prayers is one way of excercising our faith and showing Trust.  In building greater Trust it is helpful to draw people of faith to our circle of friends.  Seek to find God's people in your life.  Drawing people of faith near to us, seeing them live in faith, seeing the results of their faith, helps to sustain our faith and increases our Trust in Him.  

No matter where we go and in all we do, we influence others.  Your influence of living life Trusting God is a blessing to those of Faith  and an example to those who do not exercise their faith.  

Pray for the Holy Spirt to fill you that your life in Trusting God will influence others to live in Faith and in Trusting God.

God is Good, All the Time
He is truly worthy of our Trust and our Patience.

Believe in God, Believe in Jesus' Salvation, and 
 Receive the Holy Spirit into your everyday life, and
    Pray often- every day.
      It will change your life in ways beyond your understanding.

Thanks Be to God

Jesus Comforts His Disciples

John 14:1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

Do Not Worry

John 6:25-33pp -- Lk 12:22-31

25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life ?28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Luke 6:12 NIV

[The Twelve Apostles] [6:13-16pp -- Mt 10:2-4; Mk 3:16-19; Ac 1:13] One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God.

In our lives, Trusting God is like a garden, either we grow in trust and produce fruit or ... we wither in our worries.  We must understand that prayer in our lives acts like the water and fertilizer in the garden in that prayer helps us build our Trust in Him.  

Prayer, our communications with God develops Trust and our Relationship with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit- our Faith.  In that, as we Trust more we love God more, we love Jesus more and we feel the presence and Guidance of the Holy Spirit more.  Prayer may not always change our circumstances but for sure, it will change us and how we view our circumstance.  That is huge in God's plan for us.

Here are some things to consider in our prayers and a few things to pray for:

Pray everyday, focused on needs and not your wants, 

pray counting your blessings rather than your "problems",

pray more for others than self, 

pray in the good times to know better how in the bad,

pray in humility rather than feelings of self pride, 

pray in meekness

                  that your prayers are received as authentic,

pray in thankfulness especially when in disrepair, 
pray in forgiving attitude in prayers for forgiveness,

pray in real expectation rather than 
                   expecting fruitlessness,  

pray in feelings of gratitude rather than attitude, 

pray in faithfulness everyday, often, rather than 
                   weak trust in the bad times, 

pray in desire of His will to live in us, 
                   rather than our will,

pray in selflessness rather than 
                   living in selfishness,

pray in your aloneness 
                  not just in public for others to hear,

pray in trusting Him 
                  that you do not fall into temptation,
pray in trusting Him
                  to build your confidence in Him,

pray often everyday,
pray to feel God's presence continuously,
pray to understand God's plan for our lives,
pray to forgive especially when you do not want to,
pray to forgive even when forgiveness will not requested,
pray to Praise Him in all circumstances,

pray to Love Jesus especially when you do not feel lovable,

pray to Seek God and His Kingdom especially when you feel lost,

pray to never allow "why" to be a barrier between you and God,
pray to see, recognize, and accept God's answers to our prayers 
                 as His answers build Trust in Him,

pray for a repentant attitude
                 especially in times of feeling great pride,

pray for your enemies, not just your friends,
pray for Holy Spiritual guidance in 
                   protection from your selfish desires,

pray for Trust greater than Peter's,

pray for inner peace in our chaotic world,

pray for understanding the fullness of God's Grace in our lives,
pray for fully appreciating the fullness of God's Grace in our lives,

pray for continuous guidance of the Holy Spirit in all decisions,

pray for Spiritual joy 
                    in the trials of our personal sadness,
pray for the Holy Spirit to help you build Trust in
                    the promises of Jesus,

pray for courage in adversity,
pray for self-control in a world seemingly out of control,
pray for a gentle spirit in dealing with others,
pray for faithfulness and resistance when tempted,
pray for kind heartedness when facing hard heartedness,

pray for patience in awaiting answers to our prayers,

pray as Jesus prayed,

    "not my will but your will be done". 

Pray, and Pray, and Pray, Everyday,

   especially for the little needs in our lives,

   and

as Moses said to the Hebrews at the Red sea,

   "... watch what God will do for you today."

In addition to prayer and Bible Study,
        God Trusting friends are important elements in
                helping us build our Trust in God.

Pray, Study the Bible, surround yourself with Trusting friends and

Then, do not be amazed at His Glory in your life, 
       His work in your life is just what He does ..... 
           everyday single day!

and then

     show His glory to others 
         in the way you live your life.

Thanks be to God

Prayer changes things. In humility, as we pray more for our NEEDS and especially for others, we see results. Praying for our wants is what often leads to disappointmenst. As we see results, we often pray more, we feel receptive to the Holy Spirit, and then are moved to pray more.  Click below for some things we should pray for. Please share the message on your Fb page as you like, and if you like, click the FB 'Follow' button to have notifications of these publications.  For other messages like this, visit my FB page, or on FB visit-"A Daily Thought Group".

God's Design to Change our Lives

In Faith we Pray,                                              Return to 
  but through our Prayers               Main Menu
     God builds and 
        strengthens our Faith

Matthew 26:36 NIV

[Gethsemane] [26:36-46pp -- Mk 14:32-42; Lk 22:40-46] Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them,
                      "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

God's Design to Change Our Lives

As good parents we are happy when our children want to talk to us and be a part of our lives; likewise, God in His infinite creation cares and loves us so much infinitely more; therefore, He wants to hear from us through and in our prayers. 

He blesses us abundantly, loves us dearly, and forgives our selfishness beyond what we deserve, why would we not want to talk to him.... often.... everyday.

The more your pray, the more you confess to God that "You are Lord", the more you follow His teachings, the more you desire for the Holy Spirit as your daily guide, the more you Trust Him, the more you will be blessed and the more He will build your faith.

It is God that builds our faith.
Romans 12:3
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.

Like a perfect parent, God does want to hear from you.  Pray and Pray and Pray everyday; but, above all listen, be still and watch what God will do for you, to you, and through you.   

In Trusting God, Respond when He moves you to action through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  Do this and you will see His work in your abundant living, you will see and feel the His Glory in the exciting growth of your faith.

If humble prayer is not most essential to our relationship with God and Jesus, then why do you think Jesus prayed so often and especially when He was under stress?  In His lowest moment and in His final few moments alone in the Gethsemane Garden, He was in prayer getting strength for the day ahead by praying for the strength to be in God's will (Matthew 26:36-46).

Accept that Jesus sets the Perfect Example on living your life      and died to save you from your selfish self;  
      Trust that God loves you and gladly receives your prayers, and 
             Feel the Holy Spirit in your life to Guide you
                  in all you think, say, and do; 

Then- Humbly Pray.... often, each and everyday.  
  Then Listen and Be Receptive to God's answers.

Believe in Jesus, Trust God,  Feel the Spirit, and Pray Often-
      Truly, This is God's design to change your life.

Thanks be to God.
