PUSH (Pray Until Something Happens) Lesson 2



Our Prayer life is the most important thing we have in our Christian life.  It is our communication line to God.  The Bible gives instructions for us to have an effective prayer life.  

Luk 11:9-10 NASB
(9)  "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
(10)  "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

An effective prayer life is specific and full of faith.  These verses give us three elements of prayer.  First, we see that Jesus tells we are to ask.  God has given provision.  Second, we see wisdom.  If we seek, we shall find.  Third God gives us guidance.  We are told that when we knock it we will be opened.  God has given us provision, wisdom and guidance if we will just have an active prayer life.

Vague prayers cause doubt.  We need to realize who we are talking to when we pray.  We need to be specific in what we ask.  Paul tells us in Philippians 4:7 there is peace that comes from God.  A peace beyond anything we can comprehend.  God is ready to take care of us in ways that we cannot imagine. 

An effective prayer life is specific and full of faith.
