Prayer is not blackmail to God that He should answer man's agenda. Prayer is not to let God know so and so. Prayer is not to bring down God to do what we want. Prayer is not to ask only religious cause. Prayer is not asking only when in want. Prayer is not posture. Prayer is not only in the morning or certain day.
Prayer is like breathing. Jesus says that men ought always to pray not to faint. "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" (Luke 18:1 KJV)
What does it mean that we always ought to pray? It doesn't mean that we always close our eyes in a room and keep on saying something to God. Not at all. It means we rely on Him always in season and out of season.
Jesus is the example. Though there was a record that he went out to a solitary place to pray early in the morning, but He was interrupted by the disciples. How did Jesus pray always? He always gave thanks to the Father in heaven who opened the door and answered His prayer. Before letting the disciples dispense fish and bread, Jesus gave thanks to Father who would multiply and feed the multitude.
Do you pray now or lose heart? Do I pray now or lose heart? Do you rely on Jesus Christ in everything? Do I? Do you give thanks to the Father in anything including challenges and pressures? Do I?
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. (John 14:13 KJV)
