MINISTRY READING
Prayer (12 July 2026)
Let us carefully look into different aspects of prayer according to the record of the Bible.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER
14. “I sought a man…who would build up the wall and stand in the breach before Me” Ezek. 22:30
God sought a man among the Israelites who would stand in the breach before Him for the children of Israel. It is the same in the church. Those who are standing in the breach before Him for His people are those who are praying for His people. Only those who pray before Him can stand in the breach among His people. Many times a breach between the brothers and sisters, such as a problem in the church, requires prayer in order for the breach to be filled. Prayer fills the breaches in the church and solves the problems in the church.
15. “Concerning My sons, / And concerning the work of My hands, command Me”
Isa. 45:11
This verse speaks of commanding God concerning His sons and His work. Commanding God is the highest kind of prayer. This kind of prayer is the highest right that we enjoy before God. God needs us to exercise this right and pray, commanding Him for His work on His children. When God wants to work on His children, He needs people to command Him to do what He desires according to His heart’s desire and determination. Prayer that commands God concerning His work can and should be practiced by those who know Him and His heart’s desire. Often this kind of prayer is necessary for God’s work.
HOW TO PRAY
Concerning any matter, we need to pray. Now let us consider how to pray.
1. “Lord, teach us to pray” Luke 11:1
We must ask the Lord to teach us to pray because none of us can pray. When we come to the Lord, we should not pray according to our own determination or idea or according to our own heart or tendency. We should place ourselves before the Lord and quietly wait for the Lord through His Spirit to teach us how to pray. While we wait, the Spirit will lead us and give us an inward sense about how we should pray and the content of our prayer. We should then pray according to this inward sense. When our inward sense is according to the Spirit’s leading, our prayer will be according to the Lord’s teaching and leading.
