Historical record: Prayer - Why is prayer necessary? What is prayer?

본문 .


[Preacher] Pastor Jung Myung Seok

[Scriptures] John 15:7

If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.


Ephesians 6:18

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.


1 Thessalonians 5:17

Pray continually


When people don’t ‘converse’ with each other even though they live together, they have absolutely no idea <what the other person is thinking> and will only Think about <their own thoughts>.


In the same way, if you don’t ‘converse’ with God, you will live <centering on your own thoughts> because you don’t know the thoughts of God.


Because <prayer> is a conversation with God, when you pray, ‘your thoughts settle into God’s domain’  and as a result, your ‘thoughts’ change.


When you pray, God is with you and your heart and thoughts are replaced with ‘God’s thoughts’ so ‘fear, anxiety, worries, and concerns’ disappear.   


You should not pray only when you are facing hardships or when you have problems. Instead, you have to do it as frequently and constantly as you would eat.

Like today’s words, I bless you to achieve everything that you want to achieve by praying continually.
