Why
do we pray?
Why
do we pray to God to do everything while we do nothing
ourselves?
Why is it that we will pray to God to bless
our church, but we always have an excuse for not serving?
Have you ever thought, “God wants me to serve”?
Mark
1:17
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will
make you fishers of men."
Isaiah
6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I
send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here
am I. Send me!"
1
Peter 2:21
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,
leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
Why do we pray for the salvation of family
and friends, yet we refuse to share Gods word with them?
Have
you ever thought, “God wants me to witness”?
Matthew
28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, also see Acts 8:16; 19:5; Romans 6:3; 1 Cor. 1:13; 10:2
and Gal. 3:27
John
15:27
And you also must testify, for you have been with me from
the beginning. John
15:26-28
Ezekiel
33:6
But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not
blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes
and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away
because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable
for his blood.'
Ezekiel
33:5-7
Why do we pray for the needs of others when
we are physically and financially able to help them?
Have
you ever thought, “God wants me to help them”?
James
2:14
What
good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has
not deeds? Can such faith save him? (15) Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. (16)
If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm
and well fed," but does nothing about his physical need,
what good is it?
Matthew
25:40
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever
you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you
did for me.'
Why do we pray for those who are
hospitalized or unable to leave their homes, but we won’t stop
for a visit or even call to give a word of encouragement?
Have
you ever thought, “God wants me to visit them”?
Matthew
25:36
I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I
was in prison and you came to visit me.'
Matthew
25:45
"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did
not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for
me.'
Have
you ever thought, “God wants me to be the answer to my own
prayers”?
Luke
10:19
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome
all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke
10:18-20,
also 2
Corinthians 12:8-10
Matthew
17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you
the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it
will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
How much time have you wasted asking God for guidance, while you
already had the answer to your prayer? Grow where God has
planted you, follow where He leads, God has given us the promise
of provision Matthew
6:28 place your trust in Him. Don’t be as the man in Matthew
13:22 .
If you haven’t had any of these thoughts,
maybe you aren’t in touch with God. Maybe you need to work on
building that personal relationship with Him.
