Call of Duty Pt 10 Pray with Expectation

Many people only turn to prayer when they face a crisis or need a favor. This message explains that prayer is much more than a list of requests. It is the very atmosphere that a believer should live and breathe in every day. By looking at Ephesians 6, we see that prayer is the fuel for our spiritual armor and the way we stay connected to our source of strength. Staying vigilant in prayer means being aware of your surroundings and keeping an open line with God from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep.

True prayer involves expectation and faith that God is moving even when we cannot see the results yet. We can learn from the story of Peter in prison or modern stories of healing that God responds to those who persist. Whether you are offering a prayer of praise, thanksgiving, or intercession for a friend, doing it in the spirit changes things. If you feel weak or distant, now is the time to start a daily routine of talking with God. He is ready to listen and he is able to do more than you can imagine.
