Pray to The One Who Knows what We Need, Even Before We Ask Him (1.28.16)

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father” - Romans 8:15

Faith Believers,

The book of Genesis teaches us that in the beginning GOD created the Heavens and the earth. We should pray to The One who created all things, who knows all things, who sees all things, The One who can be in Africa and Alabama at the same time. We should pray to GOD the Father - He who has the power of life and death in His Hands. We should pray to The One who is gracious, kind, beautiful, merciful, and loving. We should pray to The One who knows what we need, even before we ask Him.

When we pray to GOD the Father,
we acknowledge that we are dependent on the Lord. 

We say to GOD (and to those who may hear our prayer) that GOD is the source of our supply. We humbly submit ourselves to the sovereignty, rule, and reign of the GOD who created us in His image and likeness. When we pray to GOD the Father, we say, “Abba” or “Daddy.” We prostrate ourselves before the throne of grace, as a child does when he or she sheepishly comes into the presence of their earthy father, and sits at the feet of his easy chair, making their request known unto him. 

 

When we pray to GOD the Father, 

we come into the presence of The One Who
loves us, knows us, and has our best interests at heart.

Abba Father,

I honor You as The One who created
the Heavens and earth,
and all that is in them!

You have the power of life and death in Your Hands,
and You are compassionate and loving
towards all You have made.

I can do nothing apart from You.

May I always remember that when I pray,
I am entering Your throne room - the place
where Your Hand of grace rests upon my head,
for I am Your Child.

Amen
