Five Tips for Effective Prayer
eSession 4 1. Do not think that it is necessary This prayer demands neither method, nor science, nor reasoning. It is not necessary to quit one's employment. It is a simple movement of the heart towards its Creator and a desire that whatever you are doing, you may do it to His glory. The best of all, to pray is to act with a pure intention and with a continual reference to the will of God. We are responsible for the efficacy of our prayers. It is not by a miracle, but by a change of heart, that we are benefited, by a spirit of submission. Let us believe, let us trust, let us hope, and God never will reject our prayers. 2. You must pray with attention. 3. We must also ask with faith, a faith so firm that it never hesitates. 4. We must pray with love. 5. We must ardently desire that God will grant us spiritual blessings; and the ardor of our wishes must render us worthy of the blessings. For if we pray only from custom, from fear, in the time of tribulation; if we honor God only with our lips, whilst our hearts are far from him; if we do not feel a strong desire for the success of our prayers; if we feel a chilling indifference, in approaching him, if we have no zeal for his glory; we cannot hope for a blessing upon such heartless prayers. |
