Prayer guide by Bruce Peltonen from the Bible.
In my walk with Jeshua, the Jesus Christ, who said in scripture, “No one comes to the Father but by Me.” In order for our prayers to be considered or even answered, we first must repent of our sin and believe in Jeshua the Holy Son of the Living God. He will then send us His Holy Spirit to comfort and to live inside us. For the Holy Spirit knows how to pray for us when we do not. Prayer is when we make our concerns and petitions before God. We must ask him for our needs.
I do not just give whatever my children need or want, sometimes they must ask me face to face. You want to go to the movie this Saturday, you have to ask me. If you go without asking, problems will arise, when that happens you must change your mind about doing it your way and ask me for forgiveness. Then we go forward with life where you can ask me about anything.
God works the same way, he has certain ways he wants us to do or follow. He totally understands us, after all He is the one who created us. But he also wants and deserves our respect.
When to pray? Anytime 24/7/365. Where to pray? Anywhere, In the Spirit. I pray all through the day and night. Such as; “Father, thank you for hearing me, John my earthly dad needs your help Father, Help him with his Business Father so he can do that which is right for his family. You know our needs Father. In the power of the blood of your Holy Son Jesus (Jeshua) I Pray and Give you Thanks Almighty God!”
When we pray, pray without doubting, but ready for an answer.
Most of the time my prayers are short and specific through the day. My other prayer time in the early morning is much longer with many specific petitions for; God’s work to be done in me and the rest of His children, that I would have his peace and remain humble, the ability to lead others to the Good News of His salvation, government leaders, for strength and security of our Nation, people, some I know and many I do not know, for protection from the evil one and his followers, for His forgiveness of my sins, for healing of this aging body and others, help to keep me faithful to Him, That I would become more like His Son (Jesus) Jeshua my Lord and Savior, and that He would fill me with His Holy Spirit (like filling your car with gas, if not you will get stranded), To protect and watch over my children, I also pray God would enlarge my borders for His Glory, bringing the unlearned to His salvation. I also express my dislikes, anger, “why haven’t you answered my prayer about this thorn in the flesh?”
Most times God will answer our prayers in a way we did not expect. Such as NO or Maybe or Wait or “My Grace is sufficient for you to endure.” We must trust God completely. He is faithful and just.
There are many references to prayer in the Bible. Some, like when we are in distress or in the wilderness (trial). How to live, to confess, to repent. How to pray for other people. How to pray for self improvement. How to forgive others who sin against us.
In all, we pray in faith knowing the power of God and His Mercy. Jeshua (Jesus) gave us an example of a prayer for a guide;
1) Our Father which art in heaven
* hallowed be your name
2) Your Kingdom come
* your will be done in earth
3) as in heaven
*Give us this day our daily bread
4) And forgive us our debts
*As we forgive our debtors
5) And lead us not into temptation
*but deliver us from evil.
6) For yours is the kingdom and the power, and the Glory, Forever.
Amen (so be it).
We also walk in faith, trusting God, else we sin against Him. Walk in the Holy Spirit by faith to please God. He is worthy, faithful and just. Leave your prayer request in a comment and I will put your request on my prayer list. Bruce
