SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And it came to pass about\u00a0an eight days\u00a0after these sayings, he took Peter and John and\u00a0James, and\u00a0went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was white and glistering”\u00a0<\/i>Luke 9:28-29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 1:35.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, WHEN YE PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom\u00a0come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 11:1-4<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And he\u00a0spake\u00a0a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, GO WEARY, LOSE HEART)”\u00a0<\/i>Luke 18:1 Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Is anyone among you suffering? He must PRAY. Is anyone joyful? He is to sing praises [to God]. 14 Is anyone among you sick? He must call for the elders (spiritual leaders) of the church and they are to PRAY over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and PRAY for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can\u00a0accomplish\u00a0much [when put into action and made effective by God\u2014it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he PRAYED intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he PRAYED again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]”\u00a0<\/i>James 5:13-18 Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
