| Vessels Of Honor – Paul’s Four Life-Changing Prayers – Part 5

Christian believers are tied in with the heroes of faith from the time of Abel through the prophets and kings to the closing of the Old Testament. Just as each one of the heroes discovered the grace of God in their failures and endured the chastening of the Lord, so also did the members of the church.

Although these prayers are for specific people at specific periods of time, there is no difference between saints then and saints now.  There is no such thing as the early church or a late church.  These prayers are as effective for us today as when they were first prayed out by Paul.

Part 5 – For prayer to be effective it must be your lifestyle, not your emergency contact.  Prayer should be a conversation with our Father by which we spend as much or more time listening than talking.  Waiting on the Lord does renew our strength and does give peace.
