Bible in a Year:
Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
After encouraging believers to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power (Ephesians 6:10), the apostle Paul offered special insight on the crucial role of continual prayer. He described the necessary armor Gods people would need during their spiritual walk with the Lord, who provides protection, discernment, and confidence in His truth (vv. 1117). However, the apostle emphasized this God-given strength grew from deliberate immersion in the life-giving gift of prayer (vv. 1820).
God hears and cares about our concerns, whether theyre spoken boldly, sobbed silently, or secured deep in a hurting heart. Hes always ready to make us strong in His power, as He invites us to pray again and again and again.
How can ongoing prayer change our perspective, relationships, and day-to-day living? What would it mean for you to consider your time in prayer to be as vital as breathing?
Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of coming to You in prayer.
Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, y’all.
