The Purpose of Prayer
Why Pray?
Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

—1 Samuel 12:23

The Purpose of Prayer

Christians are called to a lifestyle of prayer, but many have come to see prayer as nothing more than calling upon their Heavenly. Butler for daily service, or crying out to their Heavenly Lifeguard when they are drowning in their daily circumstances. Certainly God has more for us than that. Jesus said that because He was going to the Father, we would do even greater works than He did (see John 14:12). When He spoke those words, He was not talking to a crowd of world-renowned Christian evangelists. No, He was speaking to every person who names Jesus as Lord and Savior. He was speaking to you and to me.

Prayer is the responsibility of every Christian. God's Word tells us to pray. But we don't pray just because we have to; we pray because talking to God is a privilege. Prayer is entering into relationship with God so we can determine His will in the matter and call His will into existence upon the earth. As you read the following verse, notice that talking to God on behalf of others carries a promise:

First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity (1Tim. 2:1,2, italics added).

Much of the discontent and worry we as believers suffer is the result of disobedience to God's Word, which exhorts us to pray:

With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints (Eph. 6:18).

Keep watching and praying, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak (Matt, 26:41).

Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).

The Priority of Prayer

Prayer was the priority in Jesus' life. He considered it more important than physical rest, and He was commonly pictured praying all night (see Luke 6:12). Talking with the Father took priority over His social activity. Scripture often refers to Jesus going off alone to be with the Father (see Matt. 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16; 6:12). And, finally, Jesus made prayer a priority over His physical appetite. He fasted for long periods of time, withdrawing from physical food to release spiritual power (see Luke 4:2; Matt. 6:18,25.31; Heb. 7:25).

Prayer was the primary communication link between Himself and the Father. Every major event and every minor decision in Jesus' life was shrouded with prayer. If we are to be Christlike, or like Christ, we must follow His example. Jesus did not pray because He had to; Jesus prayed because He wanted to be obedient to, united with and empowered by the Father. Prayer is to be our priority for those same reasons.

Someone has said that seven days without prayer makes one Christian weak. Prayer is the way that we, His branches, draw the nutrients we need from God the Vine to produce the fruit of His Spirit in our lives. And we do this because, as believers, prayer to be our primary ministry.

UMBEDESHO WEMINI YECAWA
OKHOHLAKELEYO akuguquka ekukhohlakaleni kwakhe akwenzileyo,enz
e okufanelekileyo nokulungileyo,yena uya kulondoloza umphefumlo wakhe ebomini.
Ngokuba izigqitho zam ndizazi; isono sam sisebusweni bam futhi.
Fihla ubuso bakho ezonweni zam, ucime zonke izikhohlakalo zam.
Amadini kaThixo angumoya owaphukileyo; intliziyo eyaphukileyo negqobhokileyo akuyi kuyidela, Thixo !
Nikrazule intliziyo yenu,kungabi ziingubo zenu,niguqukele kuYehova, uThixo wenu: ngokuba enofefe nenceba yena,equmba kade,enobube obukhulu,enosizi ngobubi.
Kuyo inKosi, uThixo wethu, kukho izibele nezixolelo,nakuba sivukele ngakuyo; singa phulaphulanga nelizwi likaYehova, loThixi wethu, lokuba sihambe ngemithetho yakhe ayibekileyo phambi kwethu.
Ndohlwaye, Yehova ! kodwa ngokufanelekileyo; kungabi ngengqumbo yakho,hleze undenze into encinane.
Guqukani; ngokuba ubukumkani bezulu se bukufuphi.
Ndiya kusuka ndiye kubawo, ndithi kuye; Bawo ! ndonile ngakulo izulu nasebusweni bakho; andisafanele ukubizwa ngokuba ngunyana wakho.
Uze ungangeni ekugwebeni kwisicaka sakho; ngokuba kungalungile ebusweni bakho namnye ohleliyo.
Xeshekweni sitshoyo ukuthi asinabo uboono,siya zikhohlisa, ithi yona inyaniso ingabi kho kuthi. Xeshekweni sizivumayo izoono zethu, ulungile kanjalo,ukuze asixolele izoono zethu, asihlambulule kuko konke okulungileyo.
BATHANDWA, isibhalo esingcwele siya siyala kwiindawo ngeendawo,ukuba ma sivume sixele izoono zethu ezininzi nokukhohlakala kwethu; nokuba nge singahana-hanisi sizifihle ebusweni boThixo onamandla onke, boBawo wethu wasezulwini; koko sibe nakho ukuzixela ngentliziyo elulamileyo,nethobekileyo,neli
layo,nevayo;ukuze sizuze ukuxolelwa kwazo ngabo ububele bakhe netaru lakhe elingenambaliso.
Ngako oko ndiya nithandaza,ndiniyala nonke nina nikhoyo apha, ukuba ma nindipheleke ngentliziyo engcwengileyo,n
elizwi elilulamileyo,siye esihlalweni sofefe lwasezulwini,nisithi emva kwam.----

BAWO onamandla onke, onofefe oluphezu konke ! Siphosisile salahlekana neendlela zakho nje ngeegusha ezilahlekileyo. Sigqithile ngokulandela amaqhinga neenkanuko zeentliziyo zethu. Sonile ngakuyo imithetho yakho engcwele. Siyekile ezo nto esinge sizenzile asazenza; seenza ezo nto esinge singazenzi; akukho nokuphila kuthi. Kodwa wena nKosi ! uze wenze ngetarhu kuthi baphosisi abantliziyo zilusizi. Banyamezele, Thixo aabo baxela iziphoso zabo. Philisa abo baguqukayo,nje ngokuthembisa kwakho okushunyayelweyo ebantwini,ngoKristu Yesu inKosi yethu.Uze uthi, Bawo olufefe luphezu konke,usiphe ngenxa yakhe okokuba sithi emveni kwa kaloku nje,sihlale intlalo ebhedeshekileyo
,nelungileyo,nebungcathu,kuze kudunyiswe igama lakho. Amen.

NKosi siya kuthandaza,khulula abantu bakho eziphosweni zabo; size sithi ngabo ububele bakhi obukhulu,sisindiswe ezintanjeni zezo zoono sizenzileyo ngobuthathaka bethu.Uze wenze oku, Bawo wasezulwini; ngenxa yakhe uYesu Kristu inKosi yethu nomSindisi wethu odumisekayo.-

BAWO wethu osezulwini ! Ma liphathwe ngobungcwele igama lakho. Ubukumkani bakho ma bufike. Intando yakho ma yenziwe emhlabeni, Nje ngokuba isenziwa ezulwini. Ma usiphe isonka sethu semihla ngemihla.Usixolele izoono zethu, Nje ngokuba nathi sixolela aabo basonayo thina. Ungasingenisi ekuhendweni ; Sisindise enkohlakalweni ; Ngokuba ubukumkani bubobakho, Namandla engawakho, Nobungcwalisa bubobakho, Kude kube ngunaphakade. Amen.

Nkosi ma usivule imilomo.
Yayiya kuthi yona ivakalise udumo lwakho.
Thixo ! ma ukhawuleze ukusisiza.

Udumiso ma l**e kho kuye uYise,nakuye unyana,nakuye uMoya oyiNgcwele:
Nje ngokuba kube kunjalo kwa sekuqalekeni, kunjalo kaloku nje,kuya kumana kuba njalo,kude kube ngunaphakade. Amen."
