*TOPIC:*

*THE PRAYER HABIT*

🔑 *KEY VERSE:*

"Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessa. 5:17).

*TODAY'S TEXT*

DAN. 9 : 10-11

🖊  *MESSAGE*

As fire exists by burning, aquarium by water, believers in Christ exist by prayer. Prayer is the believer's source of spiritual strength and energy. Prayer is indeed the engine room of the believer, both physically and spiritually. A prayerless Christian is a baseless Christian. In fact, he is a powerless christian too.

Worst still, there are people who see prayer as a business venture. They

commercialize prayer and make merchandise of the grace of God. Child of God, prayer should be a habit as it was for the saints of old. Remember that the saints of old who made prayer a habit reaped bountifully its fruits. Their prayer life was

the attraction point of God's answers.

We read of Daniel praying three times a day, "AS HE DID AFORETIME." His was a life of prayer. He did not just wake up to pray because there was a challenge.

The Bible says, "Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he

kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, AS HE DID AFORETIME" (Dan. 6:10). It must be emphasized that prayer

is not a last option for the believer.

Unfortunately, many people resort to prayer as the Iast option. Let us imbibe the habit of prayer. Let us not treat prayer as a magic wand. The power of habitual prayer cannot be overemphasized as it was evidenced in the mighty deliverance which God granted Daniel in the lions' Den.

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
