Prayer 101: Our Signature Episode, What is Prayer? : The Spirit is Willing, but the Flesh is Weak. - Our Conclusion pt 2
We conclude our Signature Episode in segments with the why of prayer and the difficulty of the truth, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Our growth and consistent prayer move our prayers prayer from a task or discipline to the sweetest part of our day.
The Apostle Paul will be our last example.
With the insight of a life lived for the spread of the gospel, Paul describes earthly life in this way:
Life is full of afflictions, crushed, perplexed, persecuted, struck down, and frustrated. Other inescapable burdens are
immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like that.
How then can the man who accurately details the sorrows and burdens of all God's redeemed also say:
Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 and
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Philippians 4:4.
Our So What?
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
The art of prayer leads to overcoming all that discourages us in His presence and power.
Treasured ones of God, cultivate your prayer life to His glory and your soul's satisfaction, even in this fallen world.
Amen
Brethren, let us pray for one another to overcome the weakness of the flesh through prayer.
