It is Time to Know, Truly Pray, and Act

Luke 12:12

For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.

Matthew 21:22

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

Matthew 26:41

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Prayer is Really Needed Now

Now is the time to truly pray and take action.

Even if the Holy Trinity promised you that They will do something for you, you truly need to pray and ask Them to fulfill the promise. Then it will be fulfilled.

Now is the time when prayer is really needed. Everyone needs to pray at this time.

You need to surely realize that many things will be determined by how you check yourself and make yourself clean, and by how you truly seek God and live in God’s history now.

Now is the time to firmly hold onto the Word, check yourself and make yourself clean, look up to God, who is the original being, and meet Him through prayer.  

Prayer is a Necessity

Prayer is like breathing. We breathe without ceasing—when we sleep, when we rest, when we eat, and when we exercise. If we stop breathing, we can’t do anything. Prayer is like this. Prayer isn’t something someone should recommend that you do because it’s good. You need to know the necessity and importance of prayer, which is like breathing.

Why Should You Pray? 

There are six reasons you should pray:

  1. It says in Luke 12:12 that the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say. Like this verse, you need to pray. Then the Holy Spirit will let you know what you should do by giving you thoughts, inspiration, and realization.
  2. You need to pray. Then the Holy Spirit will give you directions and tell you the method.
  3. Depending on what you pray about, you will know more about your problem, and you will learn more about life.
  4. Depending on your prayer, your faith will change and your level of salvation will become different.
  5. Depending on your prayer, the workings of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son will change. Prayer is like work. Depending on how you work, what is achieved and the result can turn out well or badly.
  6. In this way, what is achieved changes depending on your prayer. Matthew 21:22 says, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” It is exactly as this scripture says. That is why you must really pray!

You Must Pray Sincerely

Prayer is telling God what you need to say. Your words can be an earnest request and plea; they can be what you say honestly or words confiding what is in your heart.

So then how should you pray? You must pray sincerely. When you pray sincerely, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son will truly listen to you and take action.

In Matthew 26:41, Jesus told his disciples, “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” When you pray sincerely, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son will truly listen to you and take action. However, even though you want to pray sincerely, you are unable to do so. This is because your mind and body are weak when you pray. That is why you cannot pray properly. There are several methods to overcome this.

How to Overcome Difficulties in Praying Well:

  1. If you are unable to pray well when you are praying with people, pray by yourself.
  2. If you are unable to pray when you are praying by yourself, pray with other people.
  3. If you repeat yourself and go around in circles and your posture is poor, you won’t be  able to concentrate and you will become sleepy. Thus, say what you need to say aloud and pray clearly with power.
