An important prayer in the midst of trouble

On the Christ Connection podcast I prayed through Psalm 32. One of the key principles of that Psalm it is important to build a friendship with God in good seasons so that when difficult seasons our heart is still inclined to turn to Him in prayer. This does not mean that we are going to pray long prayers in crisis. It might simply be the prayer of Peter sinking in the water, “Lord save me.”

As we continue our series on short prayers of the Bible we encounter one such prayer. King Asa needs the help of God. He is not afraid to ask for it. As you watch this short video will you turn your heart to Jesus.

Don’t give up on your blessing in prayer

We are all tempted to give up in prayer. Giving up in general is one of the great temptations of the enemy. That is why Paul encourages us to “Not give up.” So when it comes to our prayer life it is important to hang on until God answers one way or the other.

Jacob faced an important moment when he easily could have given up. He was wrestling with God. But we learn an important prayer as Jacob, “stayed in the game.” Watch this short video where I talk about this important prayer:

 

 

A Quick Prayer To Bring You Success

It is helpful to my prayer life to take a scripture and carry it throughout the day. As I face different situations I bring that simple verse back to mind and pray it over whatever is in front of me. It is a simple practice but can make a big difference in the consistency and enjoyment of my prayer life. It also makes an impact on how I experience my day.

This practice doesn’t need to be hard. And as we look through scripture it made a difference in the life of the people there. Elijah even prayed a short prayer and fire fell from heaven. Who knows what will happen as you continue to engage God through the journey of your day. So I made a series of videos to help you with this. Here is the first short video to help you in your conversation with Jesus:
