Courage to Pray




With ever trial that comes our way with ever challenge to our faith there comes a moment when we have to realize something God is building a house
We are the temple of the Lord We are the house of God and He is working upon us, in us, and through us
The trial comes and we wrestle with it we try to solve it....by our self
Sometimes we are afraid to go to God we don't want to keep bringing Him the same problem again we don't want to have to deal with adjusting our self we become frustrated and discouraged as it seems like an endless parade trial after trial problem after problem when will this ever end!
But then comes the moment when God speaks and we hear He reveals Himself to us and He shows us enough of what He's doing to encourage us then we pray

{17:25} For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee. {17:26} And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: I Chronicles 17:25-26


It's easy to believe with your head
it's impossible to believe with your heart if you don't pray
Faith comes from and intimate relationship
and prayer is intimate

Maybe today you're afraid of God a little you're embarrassed to tell Him what He already knows or you're just frustrated you're wondering even what to pray
Just tell Him you love Him your heart will do the rest because it is the house of God He's building it and that will give you the courage to pray

{127:1} Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127:1
