We have been taught that it is good to pray. It is good to pray. We should always pray because there is no help anywhere, true help can only come from God. We should pray because there are so many troubles everywhere in the world. It is only the hand of the Lord that can deliver us from all the troubles of life. We should pray because without God we can do nothing. We should pray so that God can turn everything for our good. Prayer is what we need to survive and succeed this year.
When we pray, we should have total trust and confidence in the ability of God to help us. We should know that God is able to deliver those who trust in Him. We should believe that God is more than able to bring to pass what we are asking of Him. We should not have any doubt in our hearts. Our prayers must be based on faith.
For us to have results this year, we will not only pray, we will work. We will work because faith without work is dead. To make our faith to produce results, let us learn to work. Let us not pray vain prayers. Let us not pray faithlessly. When a person does not put the right actions to back up his prayers, such a person is not going to receive what he is praying for.
