Prayer: make it simple and frequent

‘When you are praying…’
Matthew 6:7 NASB

1. Knowing our tendency to complicate things, Jesus said, ‘When you are praying, do not use thoughtless repetition…for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him’ (vv.7-8). By using the words ‘thoughtless repetition’, He’s teaching us that prayer doesn’t have to be long,

2..loud, or laboured. And bcos He said ‘your Father knows what you need before u ask Him,’ He’s inviting you to find a scriptural promise that corresponds to your need & stand on it. Charles Swindoll, who uses his driving time to pray, writes this: ‘Often I speak to God out loud.

3. Sometimes I sing to Him. Occasionally the entire prayer will be in my mind. Each time I commit myself to prayer, I notice that God becomes my focus rather than some personal struggle. I’m relieved of worry. I’m able to release anything concerning me so that I can become...

4...altogether lost in the majesty of His presence & joy of ministry. When I arrive, I’m excited to do as God pleases. I find myself refreshed, relieved & ready. My mind is focused. My heart is prepared. My emotions are clear, & whatever was troubling me when I began that drive..

5..no longer concerns me. Prayer has made that possible. Now I wish I could say I use every commute every day for time in prayer. But like many people, I often forget. My mind will be spinning from one problem to the next & rather than pray, I churn. At times I’ll be so anxious..

6...it doesn't occur to me that I should quit worrying and commence praying.’ Prayer: make it simple, and frequent.

1 Kings 14-15, Acts 6
