PRAYING WITH POWER

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Heb. 4:16)

Prayer is talking with God, prayer is our one-on-one with the God of all creation, prayer brings us into a close and intimate relationship with God and prayer is also where we receive the love of God in our situations. It is through prayer that we get our healing, our deliverance, our faith is strengthen, our hope is encouraged and our lives are changed.  Prayer is the most important power key that we have been given by God to access the throne of heaven, the place where miracles happen, and the place where the impossible becomes possible.

God told us to “come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28). Prayer is this key that we must use every day, sometimes all day and it’s not just for the saved believer but for everyone who seeks help, hope, strength or whatever the need may be. This is where the believer goes to find the rest that they so desperately seek after, when life has become so confused, when you’re tired of all the stress and where you can find the answers to the many problems; for prayer touches the heart and hand of God.  

Prayer allows us to cast all our cares, all of our burdens upon the Lord knowing that He cares for us. There are those who may not pray to the “Living God” but they are hoping that their situations turn around, or that they get that job, or that the test will be negative. You see, when one hopes for their situation to turn they are putting their trust, confidence, and expectation that the outcome will be the thing they hoped for. In other words they are saying, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1).


There is power in prayer and there is praying with power that can move mountains, and this can change the course of your life.  The scripture says: “Let us therefore come boldly (Confidently) unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain (get, gain, acquire) mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”  God tells us how to approach His throne-with boldness, then He tells us to ask as He has instructed, to seek for the answers and to knock with perseverance till we receive what we are seeking.  We have been given “boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Heb. 10:19) for we have gain access without fear because of the blood of Christ.

Whatever your need, whatever your reason for approaching the throne of grace, God is waiting to hear from you, He’s waiting to hear your needs so that He can answer your prayers. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith” knowing that He will answer.

Prayer:

 Father, I will therefore come boldly unto your throne of grace, for Jesus, through His blood has given me access, so that I may obtain mercy, and fine grace to help me in my time of need. Thank you Jesus for what you have done for me. In Your Holy name I pray. Amen.
