Sabbath Vespers: 7 Principles of Prayer

                                         

Prayer is a very special communication between man and God. And communication makes sense only when it makes sense to both sides. The Bible has many principles of such communications - and today we bring these to you. 

The 7 Principle of Prayer

1. Principle 1: It is in giving that we receive. Pray to give, not just to get. Pray for others - even if you pray for yourself - see how it will benefit others.
2. 
Principle 2: Count your blessings and give thanks. Look for blessings past and present. No one is without them, no matter what their situation is.
3. 
Principle 3: Don't jump into prayer. Silently, for a while, focus on your heart. Ask and give time for the Holy Spirit to renew you. Remain inside yourself - with no external noise.
4. 
Principle 4: Don't tell God what to do. Just focus on the end result. All things are possible for God, for those who believe.
5. 
Principle5 : Ask, look for the answers. Remember, God is in the silent whisper. And go on knocking and seeking till you find. And find you will.
6. Principle 6 : Trust in God implicitly and not on your own so called wisdom. He will direct us on the path- but we must be ready to follow.
7. Principle 7: God is the source of our supply. Not our jobs, not our business, not our benefactors but God and God alone. Acknowledge this.  Ask according to His will - His will being that we love one another, look our for each other, use our resources for Gods work and put God in all things, above all things. 

Heavenly Father,
We come before You today lifting up those who are in need. Needs known to you. Who are in uncertainty, exhaustion, and spiritual warfare. We anchor this prayer in Your Word, specifically the promise that whoever dwells in Your shelter will find rest in Your shadow.
Lord, we pray for those seeking refuge in you from their respective situations: 
We pray for Samira - We thank you for what you have blest her with. You grace, Your healing and your strength. We pray for it to continue in her upcoming immuno session. For Lisa, as she supports tries to find her life again after defeating cancer and being deserted by her husband. We thank you for your mercy on her daughter, also suffering from the pestilence of cancer, where you have not let it spread and we ask that you grant her strength for her chemo sessions.  For the miracle of complete healing for Arielle. We pray for Victoria and Alison, for Joan and Lindsey. We thank you for your healing bestowed on Joan and for stopping the pestilence in Jen to stop its relentless growth and become controllable. She is your missionary, protect her Lord. Give her relief from the pain and the side effects of chemo. We pray for Skyle; for your mercy of healing for the child. 
For all the people who feel going through through illness, financial strain, or emotional heaviness—we ask that You draw them into Your secret place. Let them not just visit Your presence, but dwell there, finding a permanent home in Your grace.
We pray for divine rest: May Your shadow be a cooling canopy that shields them from the heat of their current trials.
We thank You that You are El Shaddai—the All-Sufficient God. Because You are the Most High, no situation we face is higher than Your authority. We ask that we all would feel the tangible comfort of Your wings today, knowing that Your faithfulness is our shield and rampart.
Establish our footsteps, cover our households, and let the peace that surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and minds.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
