Prayer Opens Up Divine Resources, Part 1 (TPMD Bus 2 - #630)

TODAY'S POEM: "Just a Whispered Prayer" by George Webster

Our prayer motivator passage from the Word of God today is Psalm 4:1 which reads: "Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer."

Our featured prayer motivator quote is from Alistair Begg. He said: "Prayer is an acknowledgment that our need of God’s help is not partial but total… Yet many of our church prayer meetings have dwindled in size and influence. Ultimately, the explanation can be traced to spiritual warfare. If, as the hymn writer says, “Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees,” then we may be sure that he and his minions will be working hard to discredit the value of united prayer. The Evil One has scored a great victory in getting sincere believers to waver in their conviction that prayer is necessary and powerful." 

My personal encouragement for you today is this: Families are in need of agreat amount of intercession. Even if your marriage and family seem strong right now, seek out those families in your community who are on the rocks and make it your mission to pray for them daily. 

Our prayer motivator devotional today is titled "PRAYER OPENS UP DIVINE RESOURCES" part 1 from the book, "Purpose in Prayer" by E.M. Bounds.

The preceding broadcast closed with the statement that prayer can do anything that God can do. It is a tremendous statement to make, but it is a statement borne out by history and experience. If we are abiding in Christ—and if we abide in Him we are living in obedience to His holy will—and approach God in His name, then there lie open before us the infinite resources of the Divine treasurehouse.
