Entry 10- Prayer is the master key!

There's this song we used to sing at Sunday school- "Prayer is the key, prayer is the key, prayer is the master key. Jesus started with prayer and ended with prayer. Prayer is the master key". 

I think the younger ones still sing it and it's very important they do; as it is a great mantra to grow with.

When we pray, God either locks or unlocks doors. By this I mean He either takes us out of certain situations or brings us into certain places He has prepared for us. These could be in relation to literally any and everything. You need to understand that when we start everything with prayer, we involve and include God in all of our dealings. He is able to point us in the right direction and point the wrong direction out to us. That is if we let Him wholeheartedly!

Sometimes when we pray, our faith is so small we ask ourselves why are we honestly praying? We ask questions like is there even a 'god' to hear us? You and I both know the answer, as believers, there is! There is a God all around us who is ever ready to listen to us when we speak to Him. His word in Matthew7:7 says that "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find...". It is right there in the Bible that when we do ask our Father, He gives to us.

Let me tell you about the time I needed God to come through for me recently and made it clear to me that prayer is indeed the master key- A few weeks ago, close to four weeks ago- or is it more? Anyways I was broke, broke; the type of broke that had me wondering how I was going to put fuel in my car. I woke up the morning after I had asked God for a miracle to a text message saying I had to isolate because I had been exposed to COVID-19. Was I scared and worried? Of course but immediately I thought "I didn't have to go out, meaning I didn't have to worry about spending money on my car..." God came through! I tested negative but that's a testimony for another post. 

All I'm trying to say is what I needed done was answered through prayer and believing that the God I serve will come through- you get me?

You know what I have come to learn stops prayer from being a master key; how little our faith can be, our attitude towards the word of God and our acceptance of the word of God. 

These are all from personal experiences and fellowshipping with others so quote me at your own will-LOL.

As Christians, we aspire to be Christ-like, it is in the name. Jesus Christ started His ministry with prayer and ended it with prayer. What does that tell us? For me it tells me that everything I do has to involve Gods grace and guidance. I have chosen this because of how my life has changed so much ever since I gave my life back to God.

Let me tell you this, you can be for the world and have all the riches but are you really satisfied? A life in Christ doesn't mean you will be broke oh- it just means your satisfaction is beyond silver and gold. It means whatever may come your way, you are not going to worry (as much) because God has got you.

Becoming someone who hardly prayed to someone who randomly bursts into prayer at any time of the day has been the change I needed in my life for a while. When I say God is working, believe me. I'm far from perfect but God is still working on me.

I pray as you are reading this that you are moved to commit your life to God. I pray that your life is made new and you open up and Let our Lord and personal savior in. May you learn to commit every aspect of your life to God through prayer. & for the one reading this, not sure how to pray, I pray you find the words that speak to what is in your heart. God loves you.
