Get Up and Pray!

     We underestimate the power of prayer. Prayer moves God. He honors us when we fall on our knees in worship and in relationship. How amazing to think we are invited into the very throne room of the Most High because of Jesus. He is the intercessor. He paved the way. And the Holy Spirit interprets our prayers to go right into God’s heart. God knows what is best. He answers our prayers according to His will.

     Let’s not be complacent about our prayer life. Spending quiet time in God’s Word, and in His presence is essential. The Holy Spirit will envelop us with power and light. Today God tells us to stop sleeping and get up and pray!!! And He reminds us not to be afraid.

“Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.” Luke 22:46

But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” He said, “Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 17:7

Father,

Give us the motivation and the passion to pray. Send Your Holy Spirit into our minds and hearts and wake us up to sit with You every single day. Give us power and insight into the way you want us to go and give us the heart to be obedient to Your Word.

In Jesus name,

Amen
