Seven Posts To Strengthen Prayer
Devoted To Prayer
When we read the New Testament it’s clear that believers are devoted to prayer.
Jesus says we will “cry to him day and night” (Luke 18:7).
Luke says the early church “devoted themselves to … prayers” (Acts 2:42).
Paul calls us to “continue steadfastly in prayer” (Col 4:2).
James calls us to join Elijah in “praying fervently” (James 5:17-18).
Peter calls us to be “self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of our prayers” (1Pet 4:7).
