The end of all things is near,
therefore be clear-minded
and self controlled
so that you can PRAY!
~ 1 Peter 4:7 ~
"Do you want to be a person of power? Then you must be a person of prayer."
For followers of Christ (like me) who are tired of just "living", going through the motions of "being Christian"; we need to get praying. If we are tired of losing the battles with temptations in our lives; we need to get praying. If we are tired of being mediocre spouses and parents; we need to get praying. If we are tired of watching and complaining about the sin and trouble around us in our communities; we need to get praying. Prayer should be the trademark of every follower of Christ.
Christ is man of prayer; IS a man of prayer. The Bible teaches that even now, constantly, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us in heaven before the King of Heaven. When Christ was alive as a human on this earth his trademark was prayer. He depended on his communication with his Father. Christ, God's own son, depended on prayer. How much more should we, God's adopted children, depend on prayer?
"God, help me to be a man of prayer. Help me to depend more on you and less on me."

I believe in the power of prayer. I want to see God acting on my behalf and for those that I pray for. The Bible says that the "effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much." I want to be that man. In the Christian walk this where we separate the "men from the boys". Prayer. Why is prayer so difficult? It is such a simple task but it takes energy, persistence and a cleansed and forgiven heart. Prayer is essential work for all Christians who desire to experience God's power in their lives.For followers of Christ (like me) who are tired of just "living", going through the motions of "being Christian"; we need to get praying.
