FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong>\u00a0Watching and praying is asking, seeking, and knocking to call on God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 141<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prayer is not a parade to impress man but to provoke the hand of God for His favor of goodness.\u00a0
Prayer is a labor that is not for one with the spirit of laziness.\u00a0
The prayer of Jesus in the garden demonstrates that prayer is labor that God cannot ignore.\u00a0Luke 22:44<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0identifies the labor prayer of Jesus,\u00a0\u201cAnd being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>
Engage prayer with labor as a way of life in this wicked world to be saved.\u00a0
Give yourself to prayer.
Prayer is the master key to assessing and receiving from God.\u00a0
With understanding, prayer is not assuming to receive from God but to ask, seek or knock just as\u00a0Matthew 7:7<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records,\u00a0\u201cAsk, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
To ask or think is praying to receive as\u00a0Ephesians 3:20<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0records,\u00a0\u201cNow to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Before God, ask with action rooted in faith for God to see and not deny an answer.
To seek is in watching not to miss when God answers.
Knocking persistently for an open door will not deny the prayer as the master key to open or lock.
Watching and praying is asking, seeking, and knocking to call on God.
Pray with understanding for knowing to gain an edge in challenges.
The word of God points to all the importance of seeking God with understanding as\u00a0Psalm 47:7<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0denotes,\u00a0\u201cFor God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
As the word of God demands to sing praises with understanding, praying before God and other ways of seeking God is not with the exemption from praying with understanding.
With a prayer of understanding, God does not ignore.
With prayer, one cannot be quiet to become victorious.
Prayer is action. The evidence of having understanding and knowledge of God will always gain the attention of God.\u00a0
1 Samuel 2:3 admonishes, \u201cFor the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0
Let your prayer be an action that carries weights before God that will provoke God to incline His ear to your prayer.
A prayer that carries weight before God cannot be blown as with no weight away from the presence of God by any force of wicked.
How is your prayer life?
Are you praying to God from the head or heart?
Is your prayer rooted in the word of God or the word of your head?
Is your prayer at your convenience and without commitment before God?
Apostle Paul identifies the importance of how prayer should be to gain the attention of God, as he states in\u00a0Acts 6:4, “but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>
Let praying before God become your priority as your way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
