Serious Prayer

When you’re hurting, you need a SERIOUS prayer, and sometimes is not easy to share the total amount of details or the severity of the prayer request, and truly is not necessary either, because the person that’s listening, really, IS NOT the one we are praying to but to GOD. And GOD, my friends, knows it all; HE knows the deep of your mess, and HE WILL turn that mess into a MESSAGE for you to share it with the world.  Share what HE HAS done in your life for you and where HE got you out of, is a must because it brings glory to HIM, and it will push others to SEEK HIM to transform their mess into another MESSAGE.

I’m sharing this way of prayer because long time ago, I learned that I didn’t have a scripted prayer in the most critical moments (almost daily) of my life, so I needed to have a way that I could access the Throne of GOD, twenty-four seven!  

Right now, I pray for a touch from God, that this prayer be an encourager for you, and to increase your love for a serious prayer time often, more often than ever before. I pray that you will see results of this prayer, immediately! I pray for good news, in whatever decision you’re asking HIM for. For things to be easily and quickly; I'm also praying for HIM to give you strength to endure the wait, because as we PATIENTLY wait, HE works in our personal transformation. Our hope and faith grows as we wait upon THE LORD. AMEN?!

But before we start there’s one important detail I pray you realize. And it is that in order for GOD to hear your prayers, your heart MUST be right with HIM. Meaning that you must have confessed HIM as your Savior & Master of your life, because John 9:31 says: “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.”

So, the first thing we will do is confess our sins to HIM, and ask HIM to come and live in our heart, something like this would work…

“Father, I pray you forgive me of my sins. I can’t save on my own and I NEED YOU to come to my heart and clean it from all bitterness, and past hurts. I KNOW YOU sent JESUS to die for me, in the cross; and that HE rose from the death and conquered the grave. And I thank YOU for what YOU did, and accept YOUR gift of life, so help me now Lord, to live for YOU! AMEN!”

Then, start the prayer….   

“LORD, I believe there's nothing hard for YOU; I KNOW You are a Sovereign GOD. That YOU created the heavens and the earth, out of nothing, meaning that YOU can solve my difficulty right away without a need of a reason, or even a thing.

But LORD I just wonder if there's anything I NEED that I’m doing in my life that is not pleasing you just to make sure that this difficulty is not a result of my wrong doing.  Because if it is, this could be just a way YOU are using to call my attention to YOU.”

(Here you wait quietly for a few second until HIS words come to your mind as a thought in regards of something you’ve done. 

IF HE shows you something, immediately ask HIM, “forgive me LORD for…”  and commit not to walk on that path again. 

IF nothing’s shown or come to mind, keep the prayer going…)

“I pray LORD if there's something I physically need to do, to get better and ease my pain, on this situation, would you please let me know, Heavenly Father?”

(Here you wait quietly for a few seconds again, just like the previous request; expecting HIM to bring something to your mind.  IF HE shows you something, write it, record it in a piece of paper, or a notebook” This will help you keep track of HIS revelations to you, and you won’t forget that there’s work to do, and after the prayer, go for it!)

THE LORD LOVES when we recognize what HE has done for us. And a great way to demonstrate THE LORD how serious we are about giving the glory to HIM who heals us, and to show our grateful heart, is to commit to grow in our communion with HIM. For example:

“Lord if you take this pain away tonight, I promise YOU….   (I will “stop… cursing, gambling, smoking…   (whatever might be that you know you are doing and that is not good for you to do);

“I promise I will read a book of The Bible in a week, or two chapters a day…

"I promise to go visit the sick with the church group…. and/or to cook for a needy family…

"I promise to meet regularly with   (any church ministry)  …”

The idea is that whatever vow you make to HIM can fill one of these two categories:

1.       Help you know about HIM and HIS Word

2.       Help you share HIS Word and HIS love with others.

This is not like other “religious” people, “to walk on their knees to show HIM love” NO!  That’s not it! Because no matter how much your knees can take, that WILL NOT HELP you to know God’s Word.  The only thing that will help you to know HIM more, is thru the study of the Word, that’s what HE loves you to get into it.  You will be blessed, because HE can see you’re asking to get deeper with HIM.  

A promise it’s a promise! And how much more if it is to GOD!? AMEN!? So, remember Numbers 30:2 “If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he SHALL NOT break his word; he SHALL DO according to all that proceeds out of his mouth”.

To finish the prayer, take Jesus words said in John 14:14 “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” And pray in JESUS name and for the glory of God. And be ready, because THERE’S POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS… to break every chain!!!

And after you finish the prayer, give THE LORD a Praise Offering! Not only for what HE will be doing thru this prayer, but for not allowing this difficulty of your life to be worse than what it is; because really, things can always be worse! Also, for you to pass this mountain in victory for HIS glory! Worship HIM; you can tell HIM about HIS greatness, or my favorite, singing of HIS love forever!

If you have any comments or questions, DO NOT HESITATE to inbox them to me. I will be more than glad to get back with you.

Here’s a song it might help you start the worship…. “I can sing of Your love forever….
