The Power of an Earnest Prayer

In Matthew 7:7-8  Christ says, “Ask and you shall receive.  Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be open to you.”  He didn’t say, “Maybe I can help.” Christ said to “Ask!”  The most reliable, confident step you can make in your relationship with God is to pray.  Therefore, when you come into the presence of God, don’t come with a calloused attitude; don’t come with a lazy “lay me down to sleep” prayer; come with great expectation that your Father is listening and ready to answer.  God has given us the promise in 1 John 5:14, “And if we ask for anything that agrees with what He wants, He hears us.”  An earnest prayer from a faithful child moves the hands and heart of God.

Please join us in praying for the ministry of the Haven of Rest.
