Those of us who desire to be dependent on God and trust Him each and every day to provide for us, we need daily prayer power. Also, along with our trust in Him we need the prayer power to be thankful to Him for all that He provides for us (Phil. 4:6, 1 Thess 5:18).
In those hard times we especially need prayer power. I am thinking now of people who have barely survived through tornadoes, when they have lost everything. How do they still remain grateful and thankful to God? How do they pray with a thankful attitude? They do it with prayer power! And it comes from God.
Normally, a person, any person would be bitter when hard times come. It’s natural and normal. But the person who cries out to God for help, He will give that person the power to pray correctly, that is, to be thankful and grateful in prayer.
This power of thankfulness to God our Creator is what separates us from the evil world, and demonstrates to the world that we are more Christ-like.
This new power of thankfulness within us also works on our heart as we sense the goodness of God working in us; it stirs our heart to worship Him.
Do you want to be a worshipper of God? Do you want to have that joyful spirit, even in hard times? Do you want to be one who is always thankful to God for everything and who prays about everything? You can receive the power to be that kind of a person today through prayer in the Holy Spirit. He will give you that power.
