MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the
desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.
Psalm 37:4-5 KJV
Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God, for things
agreeable to His will, in the name of Christ, with confession
of our sins, and thankful acknowledgment of His mercies.
(Westminster Catechism)
PRAY ABOUT IT: This brief definition of prayer has been
memorized and repeated by millions of Christians down
through the past centuries. For many it may have become
a meaningless phrase for which they were awarded school
points. But in truth, this is the essence of prayer.
Prayer is offering to God, as important as the sacrifice of
praise.
Today, see your prayers as an offering and lift them up
to your heavenly Father. He will receive them joyfully.
Will you not, before venturing away from your early quiet
hour, commit your works to Him definitely, the special
things you have to do today, and the unforeseen work
which He may add in the course of it? (Frances Havergal) |
