Title: Prayer and Answer
Contents
Prayer is both a duty and a privilege for the saints. There are many people who find it boring and difficult to pray. But prayer is never difficult or difficult. The teaching methods and principles presented in the Bible are a guide for those who find it difficult, not for those who are good at it. Therefore, there is no specific form or method for prayer, but it is the easiest and most convenient way to pray as children tell their parents. Doing this will broaden the scope and deepen the breadth.
And that prayers must be answered. There can be no result without starting. I hope that you, too, will continue to pray and receive answers, so that your religious life will be deep and wide and enriched.
1. Those who cry are healed (1-2)
Prayer is the medicine for the broken spirit. Prayer is to show our broken heart before God just as we show our bodies to a doctor. We are challenged by the forces of evil and the temptations of the world. So I am tormented, and my body and my spirit are wounded within. Therefore, we must not stop praying. Verse 2 “I sought you for help, O LORD God, and you healed me.” When you pray, God blocks these forces and heals a broken heart. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise (Psalm 51:17).
2. Enjoy the joy of a new morning (5)
A broken spirit makes us unable to look around. Sorrow robs us of our hope, and suffering binds our mind and body so that we cannot use the rest of our strength. In times like these, we need God's help. Prayer is a way to get help from God. "O LORD ------ You have made it not happen" (3)
When you pray, He gives you a way and wisdom. When we experience this grace of God, praise comes from our lips (4) Suffering is temporary, but God's grace is eternal. If suffering is darkness, God's grace is like the bright morning sun.
Verse 5, “His wrath is temporary, but his love is everlasting. You have to spend long nights crying, but in the morning joy always comes.”
3. Those who cry are helped.
We cannot live for a moment without God's help. When God turns away, we are as dark as walking through a long tunnel. Verse 7 When the LORD showed his favor, he built me up like a mountain and kept me from being shaken. But when the Lord did not look after me, I was afraid and did not know what to do.” When I am in peace, I give thanks and sing praises. When you are in trouble, you should cry out to God and ask Him.(8) God hears these prayers and has mercy on them.(10) Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to me, and I will answer you, and I will show you great and mighty things that I did not know. Lala"
4. Thank you forever
How happy would it be if our prayers were answered? Without knowing it, hymns will come out and thanks will come out. David danced when the ark returned. As the title of the text says, it is a song that is sung with thanks after the ark is placed as “The Song of the Temple. This is because the work that David had been praying for for a long time had come true. It is expressed in this way in verse 11 today. “The Lord has turned my sorrow into a dance. You have removed my robe of sorrow and clothed me with joy.” The grace of the Lord is so grateful that it cannot be endured without revealing it. Verse 12 Now I will not stand still; I will sing to the Lord. O LORD my God, I will praise you forever. People died and were delayed while moving the Dharma, but when we think about God's grace, we are overflowing with gratitude. thank you forever Prayer is a direct flight of thanksgiving.
