Prayer is precious. It is a warehouse of infinite secrets. Prayer is to bring human beings with great value that can bear all the burdens, and the ability to bear any difficulties.
Why should we pray every day?
First, prayer is like sowing seeds (verses 1-2).
“He who sows with weeping will reap with joy” (Psalm 126:5) says, “He who sows with tears will reap with joy.” Blessed are those who cry now. Jesus wept too. (2 Kings 20:5), “I have heard your prayers, and I have seen your tears” (Psalm 6:6), David made my bed with tears every night and prayed before God. (Psalm 119:136) "My tears flow like streams of water". The tears of prayer, the tears of seeking the Lord, reporting my circumstances before God and seeking the Lord, whether my soul longs for or repents, is sowing seeds. The tears of mourning come to me as a comforting hand with the grace of consolation, and all around me, like a desert, all around me, and in my land where there is nothing, through tears, God grants us much fruit to reap through prayer.
Second, prayer is God helping us (verse 13).
(Psalm 54:4), “God is my helper” (Hebrews 13:6), “The Lord is my helper, and I will not be afraid” (Psalm 46:1-3), “God is our refuge. A strength and strength, a great help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth changes, or the mountains shake and fall into the midst of the sea, whether the seas roar and roar, and the mountains toss with their overflow. No, God will help you at dawn."
Early morning prayer is a time to meet with God and a time to help us. It's time for God to visit us. Dawn is also meaningful. The Bible tells us that dawn is the time of God's wonderful mystery. It is a time of grace. Does the darkness disappear and the light not come? The darkness of the heart goes away, the darkness of the family goes away, the darkness of worry and anxiety, the power of Satan and evil are gone, and the light of God, the light of grace, and the light of the Holy Spirit shine on my soul at dawn.
Third, God delivers us from all difficulties.
If you pray, if you ask, He will deliver you from difficulties. (Psalm 116:8) says, "You deliver my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling." How marvelous is this? It is said that if you pray from death, from tears, or from a fall, you will be rescued and raised. It's not that we're good at it. (Psalm 109:4), "I love, but they are against me; I only pray." Do you live well if you work hard? Does love only bring happiness between husband and wife? The aria of happiness can only be achieved when a thousand or ten thousand elements of happiness are gathered. Even if only one child is a problem, the atmosphere is broken. Can you be happy with just the two of you? Does my love mean that he doesn't betray me? It's not like that..
The rough traveler's road in this world, the road that goes well to the end of this world, is to meet Almighty God in prayer, tell all my problems to Him, get help from Him, and He will be with me in His arms and protect Him. I believe that only when we receive it can our lives become a blessed life that takes off in a new era so that young people can fly as powerfully as an eagle by giving them a safe harbor, a powerful life, victory in any test, and fulfilling my wishes in our good future.
