*Cultured to pray*

 🔥```We have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will.   ``` Colossians 1:9

Some time ago, i reflected on the prayer life of Jesus in one of the messages, we noted how often he engaged in prayer. The Lord’s passion for prayer is something he wants us to have as well. In one of his parables Jesus taught that we “should always pray and not give up”

🔥 ```And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;```

Luke 18:1 KJV

Reading through this parable you realize that the heaping up of prayer forces a manifestation.

Prophet Uebert  angel in his book "prayer banks" calls it crediting your account. A time comes when you need a withdraw and as you know, you can't debit what you never credited.

 🔥```If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth:.``` ..Eccl11:3 KJV

Lack of results is directly proportional to lack of prayer. You simply can't empty what you never filled!.

Prayer was obviously a high priority for the apostle Paul, who wrote the letter to the Colossians. Some of the most beautiful prayers ever written are found in his letters. Paul’s prayers are magnificent, not only because of their content but also because he was so diligent in prayer. He prayed “continually” for others and always thanked God for them.

 🔥```Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.```

Hebrews 4:16 KJV

Here we see how that you must access the throne and collect for your self mercy and grace to help in time of need!. He uses the Greek word *lambano* for ...obtain mercy... which means to get hold of, to take up for self, to grasp as much as you can.

And also the Greek word *heuriskō* for "...find grace..." which means to come upon, hit upon, to meet with.. Hallelujah!

In the place of prayer, you will collide with graces, you will rub upon things divine and manifest supernaturally in the land of the living.

Perhaps this leads you to consider how important prayer is in your life. Sometimes we think prayer is a gift that some believers have more than ­others. Sometimes people who become known for having a passion for prayer are even called “prayer warriors.”

It’s true that some people are simply more interested in prayer than others. But God wants prayer to be a top priority in everyone’s life. God wants us to experience prayer as a delight, not a duty.

Perhaps one of the things we should pray about most is prayer itself. If you ask God to help make prayer more of a priority in your life, how do you think he will respond? Of course he will say yes!

*My Prayer confession*

Lord, I know that prayer is always a blessing, but it’s easy for me to neglect it. Please increase my desire and my opportunities to spend time with you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
