Prayer (9 August 2026)
HOW TO PRAY
Concerning any matter, we need to pray. Now let us consider how to pray.
9. Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart hastily utter anything before God. (Eccl. 5:2)
We should not hastily utter anything in prayer or pray anything loosely. We must quietly wait and open our mouth to speak according to the feeling that God gives us in our spirit and in our inward understanding of His will. When we pray, we should be accurate in how we address God and in our words. In Matthew 15 a Canaanite woman begged the Lord, calling Him Son of David, but the Lord did not answer her. The Lord as the Son of David was for the chosen race of Israel and was not related to a Gentile Canaanite woman. Finally, she prayed based on the word dog, which came from the Lord’s mouth, and stood in the position of a Gentile dog (v. 27). She called Him “Lord” and “Master,” and the Lord answered her immediately. The titles and words that we use in prayer are one of the secrets of prayer, and they can cause our prayer to be answered. This is similar to being careful about how we address and speak to a person in our dealings with him. We must pay attention to this matter.
10. I have been pouring out my soul before Jehovah (1 Sam. 1:15)
Prayer must come from our heart. We must pour out our soul. We cannot pray shallow words. Only honest prayer that is not perfunctory can be heard by God.
11. Because of his shameless persistence he will rise and give him what he needs. (Luke 11:8)
Prayer must be out of an honest heart and must be persistent. If prayer does not move you, it will not move God.
12. Offered up both petitions and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him (Heb. 5:7)
Sometimes when we pray, a burden can press us to the point of strong crying and tears. If we have never prayed with tears, there is a shortage in our experience of prayer.
