The Apostle Paul wrote: “I will that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without ...doubting.” [1 Tim 2:8] While, to the church at Thessalonica, he admonished: “Pray without ceasing.” [1 Thess 5:17]
King David declared: “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” [Ps 55:17] While [v.18], paraphrased, could read: He will deliver your soul, in peace, from the battles that rage against you. [Insp] What a benefit. [Ps 103:2]
Jesus; who taught us how to pray, is our best model of a life of prayer; demonstrating His co-dependency on His Father's directions, and acknowledging His Father's sovereignty; in all things. [ex. Jn 5:19-20]
“When we pray, we are acknowledging “I will not be God” ...but, when we (forsake) prayer we are (usurping) God's authority (or, taking God's place).” [Pastor]
So, “Continue in prayer, and watch in the same, with thanksgiving.” [Col 4:2]

ASK THE SAVIOUR TO HELP YOU,
COMFORT, STRENGTHEN, AND KEEP YOU.
HE IS WILLING TO AID YOU;
HE WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH.
