Luke 18:1-8
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.' 4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' " 6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
- Prayer is a sin-killer. Sin loses its effectiveness when we pray. All too often we forget to pray until after we have sinned.
- Prayer brings union and fellowship with our creator.
- Prayer is a power-bringer.
- Prayer is a problem solver. It may not always change the problem, but it will change your prospective.
- Prayer is an anxiety-helper.
On a personal note, I will say that I use prayer alot for anxiety. I would probably be a crazy woman if it weren't for God. I pray about every worry and concern. Sometimes I worry about irrational things, and I especially pray about these. --Tammie Diggs
