The Importance of Prayer
Genesis 4:25-26 25 And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed.” 26 And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.
And this is when prayer began—that most personal communication between created man and holy God. Doesn’t it seem odd that prayer was not birthed until the third generation of man? To me, our deferment of prayer signifies an initial lack of understanding as to who God is and who we are.
Because we were created in God’s own image, we are drawn to Him and because we were created for relationship we are lost without Him. Prayer changes the dynamic and gives us an intimate connection with our Creator.
Don’t know how to pray? Speak God’s words back to Him. Read Psalm 100 out loud and let your heart rejoice as the praise grows and the thankfulness is disclosed.
- Psalms 100:1-4 1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
- 2 Serve the LORD with gladness:
- come before his presence with singing.
- 3 Know ye that the LORD he is God:
- it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves;
- we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
- 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
- and into his courts with praise:
May we meet God early in the morning so that our day will begin with praise and end with thanksgiving.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
