A Dozen and One Instructions for Prayer

September 26, 2011 by Erynn Sprouse 2 Comments

It has been said that a watchmaker makes watches, a candlemaker makes candles and a Christian prays. Prayer is one of the most important aspects of a Christian’s life. Here are a few commands on the subject of prayer. Ready to study? Get out your Bible and read each passage, taking notes on how you can implement these in your own prayer life.

  1. Do not pray to be seen and gain glory for yourself (Matthew 6:5,6).
  2. Do not repeat yourself meaninglessly (Matthew 6:7,8)
  3. Honor God (Matthew 6:9).
  4. Pray in faith (Mark 11:24).
  5. Forgive others (Mark 11:25).
  6. Do not lose heart (Luke 18:1).
  7. Pray with humility (Luke 18:10-14).
  8. Be mentally and spiritually engaged in your prayers (1 Corinthians 14:15).
  9. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
  10. Men are to lead when praying in mixed company (1 Timothy 2:8).
  11. Check your motives (James 4:2).
  12. Pray when you’re suffering (James 5:13).
  13. Pray for these (these are just a few specifics):
    • rulers and authorities (1 Timothy 2:1-4),
    • those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44),
    • God’s will (1 John 5:14, 15),
    • your anxieties (Philippians 4:6),
    • yourself (Jesus did it in John 17:1-5, Paul frequently requested prayers for himself such as in 1 Thessalonians 5:25),
    • the word will spread rapidly (2 Thessalonians 3:1).

Welcome to Come Fill Your Cup!

CFYC About Image Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
