Elijah was a man of prayer. The scripture teaches us he was just that- a man (see James 5:17-18.) Paul was a man whose every breath seemed to be drawn to pray. Hannah was a woman of prayer whose prayers were not born on the surface, but arose from deep down in the depths. The Lord Jesus Christ prayed powerfully and purposely in the garden of Gethsemane. He was sorrowful and very heavy and upon His face was His position. It was a time of prayer before a season of suffering (see Matthew 26:36-39.) They all were people of prayer.
How about us today? Will we, in 2016, purpose to be men and women of prayer? E.M. Bounds wrote,“Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.” Oh to be people of prayer. To know the delight of interceding on the behalf of another. The battle stance that is much needed today is to be upon our knees on our face or in a chair. Let's make 2016 a year to remember as we see the Lord working mightily as we call out to Him!
