Thankfulness
October 5, 2026
God sees to it that when the whole man prays, in turn the whole man shall be blessed. His body takes in the good of praying, for much praying is done specifically for the body. Food and raiment, health and bodily vigor, come in answer to praying. Clear mental action, right thinking, an enlightened understanding, and safe reasoning powers, come from praying. Divine guidance means God so moving and impressing the mind, that we shall make wise and safe decisions.

Prayer and fasting takes my eyes off of my selfish ambitions and foolish pride. It forces the eyes of this spiritual man to look toward the face of his Redeemer. It is in the promises of Jesus revealed in His Word where hope is found. The power of prayer and fasting is found in its ability to provide focus on Christ as we earnestly petition for His favor, blessing, and revival.

As God’s children, each of us must consistently pray for ourselves and others in all those times of personal crisis; those times will surely come, and prayer enables us to meet them by God’s grace and through His provisions.

Prayer is a great privilege for the Christian. It is a sad reality that many of us don’t avail ourselves more frequently and for longer periods of our time of this great honor to stand before the Lord in humble worship.
