Prayer Request (Again!)

<< < (4/6) > >>

Kat:

There are so many Scripture that tell us to pray, that it is obviously a good, even necessary, thing to do.

1Thess 5:25  Brethren, pray for us.

Col 1:9  And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Jesus prayed, spoke of us praying and even told us how to pray giving us the model pray in Luke 11 and Matt 6. Paul compared our prayers to hope, just as we hope in God to save us, this is a demonstration of our faith (His gift) in God. And though we do not know what God is working out in somebody's life through their trials and suffering, it is good that we sympathize with them, show compassion, and not be indifferent to their suffering. This is a way that the Spirit indwelling comes in to help us in our prayer and that is of course God directing us,  and helping us to know what to pray for.

Rom 8:22  For we know that up to the present time all of creation groans with pain, like the pain of childbirth.
v. 23  But it is not just creation alone which groans; we who have the Spirit as the first of God's gifts also groan within ourselves as we wait for God to make us His children and set our whole being free.
v. 24  For it was by hope that we were saved; but if we see what we hope for, then it is not really hope. For who of us hopes for something we see?
v. 25  But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
v. 26  In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express.
Rom 8:27  And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of His people and in accordance with His will.

But in order for God's Spirit to work through us in our pray, we must pray. 

James 5:16  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

I believe the Spirit indwelling becomes more and more active/strong as we sense it working and practice/use it.  But of course this is how God works in us to bring us towards the spiritual and away from the carnal fleshly way of thinking.

John 3:30  He must increase, but I must decrease.

mercy, peace and love

Update: So I went into my primary care doctors office today and he was following up on what the ER doctor said. He listened to my heart and told me that I did have a slight murmur and that if I had not had my heart palpitation episode that he would have completely overlooked it. He said not to lose sleep over anything and that we will do an echo cardiogram just to take a look inside and see how the valves are doing and figure out what the source of the sound is. He said that its faintness leads him to believe that it isn't anything serious and that its possible my palpitations were caused by a small valve slippage but also that excess caffeine, stress, poor sleep or any combination of these could lead to the palpitations I experienced in the night. Due to my age and relative health he feels that there shouldn't be anything serious going on.

Thank you to everyone who has and is praying for me.

God bless,
Alex
