LEARN TO PRAY

There is no greater work than the work of praying, for prayer is work of the highest order. Prayer means contact and fellowship with YHVH; it is not simply asking YHVH for things, although it does include that. Our Elohim related the parable in Luke 18: 1-8 in order to stress the great importance of prayer. Luke 18: 1 – [WE] should always pray… It is the privilege of all to pray and in Luke 18, we are given five examples:

1 -- In verse 3, we read of a praying Widow.
2 -- In verse 11, we read of a praying Pharisee.
3 -- In verse 13, we read of a praying Publican.
4 -- In verse 18, we read of a praying Ruler.
5 -- In verse 38, we read of a praying Beggar.

WHY SHOULD WE PRAY?
There are many ways in which this question can be answered, but let us confine our answer to the suggestion that arises out of the word -- should. It simply means, -- We owe it to pray… . Prayer is an obligation. In what sense is praying an obligation?

A -- We owe it to ourselves to pray. In the infinite mercy of YHVH, we have been given a new life; we have been made partakers of the divine nature -- 2 Peter 1: 4 -- and this life can only be maintained by prayer. Only as we pray can our lives be what YHVH wants it to be; only as we pray can we know the secret of victory over sin and over the power of the Enemy; only as we pray can our believer’s service be what it ought to be.
B -- We owe it to others to pray. Think what an amazing ministry we can exercise on behalf of others if we know how to pray and if this is true, how solemn a thing it is not to pray for them! – 1 Samuel 12: 23. As we think of the need, of sin, sorrow and suffering and the broken hearts all around us, is it not an obligation resting upon us to pray for YHVH’s gracious relief and help and salvation to be given to these needy ones?
C -- We owe it to YHVH to pray. In His Word, YHVH has given us many -- very great and precious promises -- 2 Peter 1: 4 -- and each of these promises invites us to trust Him and to secure from Him all that we need for life and service. He has as it were, given to us a blank cheque book; each cheque is signed with the Name of our Adonai and Saviour Yeshua Moshiach -- John 14: 13 and the resources of the Bank of Heaven are exhaustless -- Philippians 4: 19. We owe it to our Adonai to cash these cheques, to go to Him regularly in prayer and to draw upon the boundless supplies of divine grace and power which are available to us.

WHEN SHOULD WE PRAY?
The answer is ALWAYS, which means at all times and in all circumstances – see Ephesians 6: 18 and 1 Thessalonians 5: 17. Here are some practical suggestions as to when we ought to pray:

1 -- At regular times. We do many things every day by habit. We should likewise form the habit of prayer -- Psalm 55: 17 and compare Daniel 6: 10.
2 -- When Ruach HaKodesh urges us. As surely as we go into the place of prayer so surely is Ruach HaKodesh present to guide us in our praying -- Romans 8: 26-27. It is wonderful to be thus guided by Him to pray for someone for whom previously we had no thought of praying and then afterwards to discover that our prayer had been the channel through which YHVH met a special need. Have you not had this experience?
3 -- When cares and troubles press upon us. Elohim gives a special promise for times of trouble -- Psalm 50: 15 -- and notice that His promise is not for deliverance from the trouble but for something better than this -- deliverance in the trouble. Paul and Silas enjoyed such a deliverance -- Acts 16: 25.
4 -- At all times of special need. Such times arise in your life and mine -- Acts 12: 5 -- and compare James 5: 13-15 and 17-18.
5 -- When we can, we should pray with others. There is a place for private prayer -- Matthew 6: 6 -- but there is a special invitation to and a value in, united prayer -- Matthew 18: 19-20 and Acts 1: 13-14.

HOW SHOULD WE PRAY?
Consider three of the illustrations in this chapter which show us how we ought to pray:

A -- We are to pray like the Publican and not like the Pharisee -- verses 5; 10-13. We are to pray with no confidence in ourselves. All our confidence must be in the merit of Adonai Yeshua Moshiach Who shed His blood for us so that we can approach our Holy Elohim in prayer -- verse 13. If we come to YHVH like the Pharisee He will not hear us, but if we come to Him as the publican did, He will hear us.
B -- We are to pray persistently, without giving up -- verses 1-8. We so easily get discouraged when we pray if YHVH does not seem to send the answer at once! Read the parable of the persistent widow. The lesson is this: If a bad man, -- and the unjust judge was --, will yield to the pleading of a poor widow, how much more will YHVH yield to the earnest prayers of His people! -- Compare verses 38-39.
C -- We are to pray with child-like simplicity and trust -- verses 16-17. We must always come before YHVH as children coming to their heavenly Father. Prayer is the simplest form of speech that infant lips can try. Are you proving what a practical thing prayer is, that nothing is too great or too small to pray about and that prayer is the greatest work on this earth?

We often have friends in for dinner on Erev Shabbat, but tonight is quiet because the friends we invited are sick. We start by blessing the children (7 of them, ages 26 to 12), and then we remember Yeshua with bread and wine. Then we turn on a playlist of songs we like and have a festive dinner on paper plates, but with a pretty tablecloth and centerpiece. ? It’s often roasted chicken. Sometimes we play table games after dinner. We often sing together. Sometimes we just crash on the couch. ?

On this date in history, 01/07/1943: Nikola Tesla dies in his room at the New Yorker Hotel in New York City of a coronary thrombosis. What would the world be like today if we had appreciated his genius more while he was alive? #otd #tdih #techhistory

So far we've seen tons of Torah teachers on TTN but very little socializing. If you crave conversation and social interaction with other women of Torah, please go to our Lashes, Lattes & Leviticus page. Lets start a conversation and build community with Messiah at the center!
