100 Days of Prayer

17/06/2022

TIME TO REFLECT
Having now completed ‘100 Days of Prayer’ what has changed in your relationship with God? What has changed in your life or understanding of prayer?

How have you seen the Lord work in response to your prayers? Perhpas you could write a short note of encouragement to someone you have prayed for regularly over the past 100 days.

How would you rate your faithfulness in adhering to the structure of 100 Days of Prayer? How will you maintain your commitment to prayer in the days to come?

Is there a new person, ministry, or circumstance that you are now prepared to pray for regularly? Perhaps you could write a short note to let them know of your commitment to pray for them.

What matters do you need to continue to persevere in prayer about?

A morning declaration of faith:

In this faith I go out into the day with quietness and confidence as my strength.’

Week 20
A REAL UNLIMITED TALK PLAN – NO CATCHES!
1 Thessalonians 5:17

"Pray Continually”
What is prayer? Sometimes I find revisiting a topic from the basics helps my understanding. So, why was prayer instituted, what is it for? Perhaps help can come in the question of - I wonder if we will be praying to God when we are with Him in heaven? If my (simple) answer is no, then our prayers here on earth are in place of our ‘face time’ so to speak with God in heaven.
Think about it for a minute. God has opened up to us, to His children, the amazing gift of talking with Him, as if we were sitting at His feet in heaven! This means prayer is not a heavenly email or text message, it’s not our words put in a heavenly envelope to be opened in the future. It’s our ‘face time’ here on earth with God. It’s real, it’s ours and it’s right now.
So what should this mean for us? What should prayer look like? Our gift of prayer (talking with God) is to talk! Openly, freely, anytime, big things, small things, seemingly irrelevant things. We don’t have to wait for dinner time, or bedtime, or a Sunday gathering. We’re told to pray continually, to pray for all kind of requests (1 Thes 5:17, Eph 6:18). Our God wants us to talk with Him, He wants our relationship, and He bought us at great cost by His Son Jesus to do this.
We should challenge our traditions of prayer. We should challenge the times we come to God. We should challenge how our prayer life (that is our privilege to freely talk to our ever listening Father) is shaping us. The more we talk, the deeper our relationship will grow.
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Blessed Saviour, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer,
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.
Joseph Scriven (1819 – 1886)

Day 94
‘I am more happy in the Lord than I have ever been, and enjoy more leisure of soul, casting more fully every burden on Him who alone, is able to bear all. To be content in God’s will and way is rest. Things may not be, in many respects, as I would wish them but if God permits them to be so or so orders them I may be well content. Mine to obey, His to direct.’ Hudson Taylor, pioneer missionary to China in a letter to his mother
