Ephesians
6:10-18; Psalms 103:2

The first
prayer that God heard us pray was, “Lord have mercy on me a sinner and forgive
me, this hour, for I am a needy creature.” We came under His drawing convicting
power because no man ever comes to God without being drawn to believe. Then
after our initial sins were forgiven and blotted out we found ourselves praying
even the more; for ourselves, things and others. We are now going to
prayer-school to learn how to communicate with our Heavenly Father. We must
learn to pray for the grace of sanctification, for grace to hold us steady. We
hunger for a fresh supply of daily assurance in faith, deliverance in times of
temptations, help in our daily duty, and when trials come it’s not wrong to cry
out for relief. We need God and He is disappointed when we don’t call to Him
and trust Him in all our matters.
God is the
only place to find deliverance if you have anything at all, it came down from
God. And you’ll not get anything of eternal value, but from God! Holy manna,
food from Heaven fills our very souls, water from the rock of ages, Jesus
Christ, quenches our thirsting hearts-”Come and drink ye all of it...”
We are
people full of wants, “Ask and ye shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock
and it shall be opened unto you.” The wants and needs are great, but the supply
is greater from His bountiful storehouse. Your prayers are many, but His
mercies are countless. He is hearing, He is strengthening you, and He is
helping you as you ask; ”We have not because we ask not.” (James 1:5)
“Mercy”
Doubting, trembling, yet I call,
Dishonoring, sinning, on the mercy
seat I fall; Blessings and benefits come from above, With gratitude I
acknowledge that God is love.
