Prayer And Joy.

Joy is an important aspect of God's kingdom. Romans 14:17
Joy is different from happiness.
Joy is an evidence of our faith.
Joy is the way God wants you to live.
Joy in the midst of resistance, joy despite challenges, joy irrespective of unpleasant situations is evidence of faith. James 1:2,3
And without faith it is impossible to please God.

Let God see your joy. Psalm 47:1
Your joy is a spiritual signal to God that you're still in the battle.
Your joy in the place of prayer and after prayer is a signal to God that you believe He hears you and has answered you. Proverbs 10:28
Being joyful in God's presence is evidence your relationship with God is cordial. Ecclesiastes 9:7

Being joyful has great benefits!
Joyful people are healthier, stronger and go further than those who don't know how to be joyful. Nehemiah 8:10
Joy will help you draw from the Lord, the things Jesus paid the price for you to have. Isaiah 12:3
Your joy shows your faith.
You need faith to receive from the Lord.
You need joy to make your faith effective and you need your faith to make your prayer work.
When you pray, if you believe the Lord has heard you, you should be joyful.

Our heavenly Father is more inclined to bless the individual who is grateful and joyful than the individual who is always moody and complaining. Philippians 2:14
Your joy is a signal to God  that your faith is alive!

The children of Israel lost their joy as they journeyed through the wilderness, this led to complaining, murmuring, and eventually offending God. Exodus 16:3
When we loose our joy, our emotions are affected and we eventually sin.
Joy brings God's favor, complaining brings disfavor.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state.
