Pastor's August 2023 Letter

Dear Beloved of Faith Family Fellowship,

 

           Greetings in the Name of the Lord.  This month I would like to share with you on the subject entitled “A Heart to Pray.”  The first thing we must do is define what A Heart to Pray is.  I want to share with you 5 things that describe what it means to have a heart to pray.

1st – It is praying from a personal level-

            In Matthew 6:6 Jesus tells us to pray to the Father in secret.  This is personal prayer.  It is personal in the sense that you are opening your heart in an honest and vulnerable way as a child does before His earthly father.  It is the communication and sharing of your heart letting the Father be involved in the affairs of your life.  It includes praying for our needs and the changing of circumstances but it goes beyond just the external and deals with the internal-the heart issues of our life.

2nd _ It is praying on a consistent daily basis-

            In Matthew 6:6 Jesus said, “When you pray” not “if” you pray.  Prayer is like life-it’s daily.  Scriptures that speak on this point are:

           (a) I Thessalonians 5:17 (amplified)

                  "Be unceasing in prayer."

            (b) Romans 12:12 (amplified)

                   "Be constant in prayers"

             (c) Colossians 4:2 (amplified)

                    "Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer {life}."

            This speaks of prayer that is daily, consistent and not occasional or when it is convenient.  Because of life’s continual demands we need a fresh touch of God’s presence through prayer continually.

            God want’s us to have a heart to pray.  He wants us to enjoy heart fellowship with Him  allowing Him to reveal Himself to us as we spend time daily with Him.  As you meditate on the scriptures shared may you experience a fresh touch of God’s presence as you see the importance of your personal time with Him each day.  Next month we will continue looking at this subject entitled “A Heart to Pray”.

  1. I Thessalonians 5:17 (amplified)

“Be unceasing in prayer.”

  1. I Thessalonians 5:17 (amplified)

“Be unceasing in prayer.”

  1. I Thessalonians 5:17 (amplified)

“Be unceasing in prayer.”
