Some circumstances make it difficult for us to know how to pray. There is a prayer that anyone, anywhere, at any time can pray and be confident that God has heard and will answer.
Like any prayer, the words are not as important as the attitude of heart that expresses it.
Whenever Jesus prayed it, God the Father worked miracles. (Mark 6:41)
The apostle Paul said whenever you pray, you should always pray this. More than twenty times in the New Testament Paul himself prayed this prayer or encouraged others to do so. (Philippians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:18)
In the Old Testament, David, it’s greatest king and psalmist, prayed this prayer more than twenty-five times as well. You’ll find most of those prayers in the Psalms. David encouraged us that it was the key to entering God’s Presence (Psalm 100:1)
Great battles were won when people prayed this prayer. (2 Chronicles 20:21)
It is the SIMPLEST and SHORTEST PRAYER in the Bible. You don’t need to memorize it. And it is probably the GREATEST PRAYER of FAITH a person can pray
And yet although this prayer is encouraged throughout the Bible and so powerful, typically MOST PEOPLE FORGET TO PRAY THIS PRAYER!
In fact, Jesus encounter with one group of people indicates that maybe ONLY ONE IN TEN PRAY IT. And He greatly commended those who did. (Luke 17:16-17)
