God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
1. Prayer is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38). We pray because God commands us to pray (Philippians 4:6-7).
2. Prayer is exemplified for us by Christ and the early church (Mark 1:35; Acts 1:14; 2:42; 3:1; 4:23-31; 6:4; 13:1-3). If Jesus thought it was worthwhile to pray, we should also.
3. God intends for prayer to be the means of obtaining His solutions in a number of situations:
a. Preparation for major decisions (Luke 6:12-13).
a. Overcoming demonic barriers in lives (Matthew 17:14-21).
b. The gathering of workers for the spiritual harvest (Luke 10:2).
c. The gaining of strength to overcome temptation (Matthew 26:41).
d. The means of strengthening others spiritually (Ephesians 6:18-19).
4. We have God’s promise that our prayers are not in vain, even if we don’t receive specifically what we asked for (Matthew 6:6; Romans 8:26-27).
5. He has promised that when we ask for things that are in accordance with His will, He will give us what we ask for (1 John 5:14-15).

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
