Our Prayer Life

Here are five things that should characterize our daily prayer life:

1. Fervency:

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16)

2. Continuance:

“Continue in prayer” Colossians 4:2).

3. Watchfulness:

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation” (Matthew 26:41).

4. Consistency:

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18).

5. Thanksgiving:

“Giving thanks always” (Ephesians 5:20).

Prayer should be more than just saying words, mentioning names, or making requests. It should be with genuine spiritual feeling and exercise. If this were true perhaps there would be more reality to our prayers resulting in more power and blessing.
