“Calling Upon God”
A Christian with spiritual power in their life is one who prays. One who is blessed and receives big things from God, is one who prays. Please do not read this viewing God as a vending machine where you place a pray and receive instant results exactly as desired. The person with spiritual power is one dedicated to the Lord and seeks His will above all things, especially their own will.
In Psalm chapter 5, David lays out a wonderful pattern for us to follow in our daily prayers. I’ll break it down in outline form encouraging you to read and use in studying his words. It may be of help if you’re “stuck” in your prayer life.
