The Prayers You’re Not Proud Of
Angry? Pray. Confused? Pray. Doubting? Pray. Ready to give up? Pray. Because the prayer you're not proud of is better than the one you won't pray. God isn't asking you to clean up your emotions or find the perfect words before you come to Him. Whatever you're carrying, bring it to Him honestly today and pray anyway. If you’ve just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: http://ele.vc/tIepfr Scripture References: James 5, verses 16-18 – Pray like Elijah Psalm 58, verses 6-8 – David prays honestly Luke 18, verses 9-14 – The Pharisee and the tax collector Romans 8, verse 26 – The Holy Spirit intercedes for you 1 Kings 17, verses 1-9 – Elijah is fed by ravens 1 Kings 18, verse 42 – Elijah bows with his face between his knees 1 Kings 19, verses 3-6 – Elijah gives up, but God says “get up”
