MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14 You say you do not know how to pray? . . . . Follow the leading of simplicity in prayer, there can never be excess of it, for God loves to see us like little children in His presence. (Jean-Pierre De Caussade) PRAY ABOUT IT: God designed prayer to be simple, not hard. The kingdom of God is, in fact, for those who would become like little children before their Father. Today, your prayers should be simple and direct, not lavish and vague. In this respect, less is more. Better a few words from an overflowing heart than a verbal dictionary emanating from a cold, religious heart. Live as a child of God, then you will be able to pray as a child, and as a child you will most assuredly be heard. (Andrew Murray) | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON We must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35 What ministries are in our hands for working miracles in the wonderful realm of prayer! We can take sunshine into cold and sullen places. We can light the lamp of hope in the prison-house of despondency. We can loose the chains from the prisoner's limbs. We can take gleams and thoughts of home into the far country. We can carry heavenly cordials to the spiritually faint, even though they are laboring beyond the seas. Miracles in response to prayer! (John Henry Jowett) PRAY ABOUT IT: The result of all serious prayer before God is that we sense God's heart toward others. He daily sends those who need a miracle across our path, but unless we've been with God, we don't recognize His divine appointments. Today pray that God will direct someone across your path, someone to whom you can minister in a practical way. From your place of prayer, export sunshine to the cold and sullen places. Light the lamp of hope. Loose chains. Prayers for people are far more important than prayers for things because people more deeply concern God's will and the work of Jesus Christ than things. (E.M. Bounds) | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. (Rev. 21:5) If your faith in Christ doesn't lead you to pray, then have nothing to do with it: get rid of it, and God help you to begin again. (Charles Haddon Spurgeon) PRAY ABOUT IT: The past year is over, the new year begins. As we think about the twelve months ahead, let's invite God to oversee ALL that crosses our path. Let's give Him charge over every aspect of our lives, including our prayer life. Today, as we pray----perhaps feebly, perhaps with doubts and worries----let's begin again. If yesterday's faith didn't lead us to be effective pray-ers, let's be done with it, as Charles Haddon Spurgeon recommends. God is the God of today, not yesterday; God of the living, not the dead. His manna is always fresh and ready for the taking. His answers to our prayers are always right, always on His perfect timetable, and ALWAYS for our good. Lord Jesus, at the start of this new year, we ask for a fresh beginning. Wipe our sins away with Your precious blood. Cleanse our hearts of bitterness toward others. Help us to live each day in close communication with YOU, our TRUE and FAITHFUL GUIDE. (Corrie Ten Boom) | |||
