Kidz World Today - Children’s Church
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel.
I am moved by what I believe.
I believe the WORD of God!
The victory is mine!
I have it now!
I can see it through the eyes of my faith!
When You Pray
Last Week we started the series When You Pray!
We Looked at verses 5 and 6 and today I want to go a little deeper!
The Three Great Rules for Prayer
1. Do not use empty repetition
2. Do not speak much
3. Trust God
Among the religious there is often a tendency toward long prayers, particularly in public.
Too often people measure prayer by its fluency and length, thinking that length means devotion.
Repetition means to babble , to use many phrases; to say idle things; to say meaningless things.
Vain repetition means:
1.
It means saying the same words over and over again without putting one's heart and thought into what is being said.
2. It means using certain religious words or phrases (sometimes over and over again) and thinking God hears because one is using such religious talk.
How to stop from using empty repetition in prayer.
1.
A genuine heart: really knowing God personally and having a moment by moment fellowship with Him all day long.
2. Thought and concentration: really focusing upon what we are saying.
3. Desire for fellowship with God: praying sincerely, really meaning it.
4. Preparation: preparing ourselves for prayer by first meditating in God's Word.
Jesus does not say repetition in prayer is wrong.
It is not wrong.
What is wrong is vain, empty, meaningless, foolish repetition.
Christ Himself used repetition in prayer
We must pray more - we must take time to pray and pray with a honest heart
We must prepare our hearts for prayer: by meditating in God's Word.
The second great rule of prayer is an eye-opener -do not speak much.
Too many think that length equals devotion; that is, the longer you pray the more God will listen to them and the more spiritual they will become.
God does not hear a someone’s prayer because it is long, but because your heart is genuinely poured out to God.
Length has nothing to do with devotion, but a sincere heart does.
Long prayers are not bad.
What is wrong is the idea that long prayers are automatically heard by God.
Prayer is a matter of the heart, not a matter of words and length
The third great rule of prayer is —trust God.
Prayer demonstrates our need for God and our dependence upon God.
Prayer gives time for concentrated sharing and communion between you and God.
God knows your needs!
You do not have to worry about God knowing or meeting your needs.
Your concern and my concern should be living in the presence of God, taking enough time to share and to fellowship with God.
The more we share and fellowships with God, the more we will know God and learn to trust and to depend upon God's care and promises.
So three things the Bible reminds us:
1. Do not use empty repetition
2. Do not speak much
3. Trust God
