Into Thy Word________________I Know What Prayer Can Do I Know What Prayer Can Do - Jessy Dixon & Ethel Holloway Listen to the song and find a time and a place—You must prepare yourself for prayer by prayerful Bible study. Paul & Silas were praying and changes were loosed. Acts 16:25-34 They found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God; and they cast him into the den of lions. Daniel 6:10-23 When you have thus received the Word into your heart, turn to prayer. But do not attempt it hastily or thoughtlessly, as though you knew well enough how to pray. Prayer in our own strength brings no blessing. Take time to present yourself reverently and in quietness before God. Remember His greatness, holiness, and love. Think over what you wish to ask from Him. Do not be satisfied with going over the same things every day. No child goes on saying the same thing day after day to his earthly father.[i] Prayer Follows the Word I prayed God change me from my evil ways and He did when I accepted Jesus and I decided to live a Christian life, in the name of Jesus. I was saved by His blood. “It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business in the morning and the last in the evening. Guard yourself against such false and deceitful thoughts that keep whispering: Wait a while. In an hour or so I will pray. I must first finish this or that. Thinking such thoughts we get away from prayer into other things that will hold us and involve us till the prayer of the day comes to naught.—Martin Luther” [ii] [i] Heritage of great evangelical teaching : Featuring the best of Martin Luther, John Wesley, Dwight L.
