WHY PRAY?

Prayer is not man's idea. It is God's idea. The invitation to pray comes from Him. It is He who calls us to stand before His throne night and day, to give Him no rest, reminding Him of His promises (Isa 62:6-7; Heb 4:16; Matt 7:7-8; 1 Thess 5:17)

If God calls us to pray, it is because He wants to help us, to answer us. For this reason He gave us His Word with all the promises that we can use to 'appeal' to Him for help. Remember, they are His promises. He made them. He wants to answer them. Let us then pray them boldly, in faith, not doubting, expectantly, night and day.

Let us ask for abundance and not only to survive. And I am not referring to financial abundance in the first place. Let us pray for our churches, communities, our country Namibia and the world.

God says: Come, boldly, with faith, faithfully, selflessly, without selfishness, with hope and certainty, knowing that I am almighty. Come and speak to Me.

Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16
