MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven,
and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son,
that Your Son also may glorify You (John 17:1)

The Son of God came so truly down from Heaven to live
among the sons of men, that He lifted up His eyes when
He prayed to His Father, just as we ourselves do.
Though He knew that the kingdom of God was within
Him, and not in the skies above Him, yet like us, He
lifted up His eyes when He prayed. He was in all points
made like unto His brethren, and in no point more so than
in this point of prayer.
It is built deep into our nature, as we are children of
Almighty God, that we are to lift our eyes and look up when we pray. And the Son of God took on our human nature,
and prayed as we pray, kneeling down and looking up,
falling down and lifting up strong crying and tears.
(Alexander Whyte)

PRAY ABOUT IT: We may start our prayers with heads
bowed, but before long the magnet of heaven pulls our
eyes and our hearts upward.
Today as you pray, look up and praise Him. Look up
and be thankful. Look up as Jesus did.

Do everything for God, uniting yourself to Him by a mere
upward glance or by the overflowing of your heart towards
Him. Never be in a hurry. Do everything quietly and
calmly. Don't lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world seems upset. (Francis De Sales)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
His greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:3

Little do we know how we wrong ourselves by shutting out
of our prayers the praises of God or allowing them so
narrow a room as we usually do. Let praises have a larger place in your duties. Consider the excellencies and
goodness of the Lord as often as you do your needs,
your unworthiness and the mercies that God has given
you. (Richard Baxter)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Today isn't a day for asking. God knows
what you need. Right now, take a few minutes and simply
offer praise to Him for who He is, not for what He does
for you.
At first it may seem difficult not to start asking God to do
this or that but resist the urge for today. Stay on course
and confine your words to those of praise and worship.
Throughout the day, every time you find yourself asking
God for something, stop and turn the request into praise
instead. You may be surprised at the results.

Jehovah, the one God, should be the one object of
adoration. To give the least particle of His honor to
another is shameful treason; to refuse to render it to
Him is heartless robbery. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of
this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12)

When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes
in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does
pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its
face before God in prayer, "he trembles" as much as he
ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or
community is at an end. (R.A. Torrey)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Why have so many churches grown cold?
Why are so many of our communities spiritually desolate?
In some cities you can sense a cloud of evil or materialism
that quenches righteousness. The enemy has gained a
stronghold in these communities and until churches and
individual Christians stand in the gap for these areas,
Satan will continue to destroy lives. But his influence can
be reversed. A band of believing Christians who covenant
to pray for their community can bring dramatic results in a
short time.
How is it in your town? Are you aware of what's happening
spiritually? Does righteousness prevail? Are the schools
and streets safe? Does drug use, pornography, crime,
violence, and abortion have a foothold? Or perhaps your
community is plagued by materialism, greed, broken
family relationships, alcoholism, and "white-collar" sin.
Christians have the power to halt sin in their localities
through vigorous, sustained prayer.
Today, think about your community, identify the major
problems, and begin to pray against the work of the enemy.
Pray for the churches. Pray for renewal among the
Christians. Pray for the children.

Wherever the church is aroused and the world's wickedness
arrested, somebody has been praying. (A.T. Pierson)
