Making a Breakthrough Through Prayer

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.1 John 5:14-15

Prayer is defined as a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or an object of worship. Prayer is a necessary component in a believer's daily christian lifestyle, and it gives you the power and the resources to live your life defined by God's Word and by the promptings of the Holy Spirit. We need prayer to help us focus not on ourselves and our problems, but on God's grace, mercy, and providence.

When you spend time in prayer with God, the whole purpose is to communicate your willingness to abide by His character and standards, which are defined in His Holy Word, and to ask for His guidance and His will for your life. You may also have your own petitions, such as requests for healing, or asking for help with a problem, or to seek revelation on a certain issue.

It is also a time of fellowship with God, as you express your love and loyalty to Him, giving thanks for what He has done for you in the past, and your acknowledgement that He will continue to provide for you in the future. These are all the main goals for engaging in prayer. When you place your trust in Him, and praise Him for His love and mercy, you give Him everything that He has always sought from His children.

Prayer is always the best solution for every problem or circumstance. You can seek His face in your alone time, or riding on the bus or the train reading His word, or taking a long walk by the pier, hiking a trail, singing songs of thanksgiving and love within your heart. Prayer is not something you practice just in a church service or meeting; it can be practiced everywhere you go. It can be a prayer you voice out loud, or it can be a prayer you voice inside your heart and mind; just stating that you love Him, whether vocally or internally is a form a prayer, and if you have faith in Him and your words of thanksgiving and love are sincere, be prepared to receive an answer!

When you focus all your energies and your love in Him, and give your whole heart and soul to Him, there is nothing that you cannot accomplish with Him, according to His will for your life. Some people tend to make the process complicated, by including all types of rules and rituals that only serve to direct their focus on themselves and not on God Himself. These are traditions that men have devised over time, and they tend to hamper the effectiveness of their prayers. When you have decided that the process is more important than the God that you serve, you have doing a disservice to yourself and to the One you say that you believe in.

The new testament church was very simple in their approach to prayer; they prayed with all their heart and soul, and relied on His providence, because without His intervention in their lives, they simply would not have survived. And you can tell that their love and faith were real, because they were not interested in being 'super saints' but they were willing to allow the Lord to lead them in the way that they should go, for His benefit and glory's sake. That is what true christian discipleship is all about.

In order to get that breakthrough you desire, you must come clean with yourself and with God, and acknowledge that you can do nothing without His help or His love. We are precious in His eyes, and He will always be there for His little ones, but we must allow Him to live through us if we want our prayers to be effective, if we have a real strong desire for a breakthrough. Once you allow Him to lead in your life, you will see changes in your Life, in your behavior, and you will receive all types of breakthroughs in your problems and circumstances.

PRAISE GOD, for his love, his patience, and his providence in my life; there will never ever be a God like Him that loves me and treasures me like He does, and I would never give Him up for anything else in this life! Praise Him, my brothers and sisters, because He is Good, and He is the best thing that will ever happen to you in your life, and because no one will ever love you the way that He does! HALLELUJAH!
