Principals for Succesful Prayer

While I’m on the subject of prayer let me tell you about a recent experience.

I could read the disappointment on the face of my friend as she held up a slip of paper that was included with her paycheck. After working only a couple of months at the meager paying job, the end of the month would be her last day of employment.
Later that evening we prayed together for God to give her guidance and favor to obtain another job.

Prayer moves the heart, the hand, the help of God on our behalf. To harness effective prayer, you must make praying as important as breathing by developing a prayer life. You should, stay on the main line, maintain frequent communication with God..

We should reach out to God throughout the day and not just make it a morning routine or nighttime ritual. Here are some other things about praying for Christian men to consider.

Harnessing the power of Prayer


Faith
We must trust that God loves us and will honor our request. Jesus told two blind men seeking healing, "According to your faith will it be done to you."

Intercession
Jesus taught his disciples, “This is how you should pray.” “ Our Father” we shouldn’t focus only on our needs without praying for our friends, family even our leaders.

Patience
Remain expecting until you hear from God. The Old Testament Prophet Daniel (Dan 10:12-14) described how answers to our prayers are sometimes delayed.

The answer to my friends prayer

God’s answer to her prayer was something that she never would have imagined. Today my friend works for herself, she only has a couple of customers, but that’s a start.

Free Stuff
Now that I’ve got that off my chest
If you have read my weekend post you know that I always have a tip on where to get some free stuff. Let me remind you that you can’t get something for nothing.
You will have to provide a e-mail address or take a survey or two to get most of the stuff I recommend. What I don’t do is tell you about something I haven’t tried myself.
Get this free stuff from a another blogger I screened who screens the offers.
