How do we pray? I am sure that I'm not alone here in stating how overwhelmed I feel and how little I feel I have for energy to contemplate the scenarios to pray about and against that are pressing up against us and certain to occur in the not too distant future. In some ways I don't know much difference between every day spiritual battles and the visible events that challenge us that affect our physical survival.
There's no point pretending that fear isn't ever present. Faith of course involves God's love; and when perfect it casts out fear.
Having likeminded individuals to pray with certainly is vital; and in today's world most of us find few if any of that mindset.
This site is certainly helpful in that regard. Ultimately the fear of death we know through His strength is overcome; but it is always up against us. It isn't wrong for us to have those feelings of doubt and self preservation but He lives in us and directs our steps.
Knowing that the end will come with all the baggage mentioned in Revelation; we can only pray that the restrainer holds things back as much as He can and that we aren't allowing things to commence prematurely as surely the enemy would like to do as much as possible. I've got to run here but thought again any suggestions would be good; surely we must pray on these big events as some things can still be temporarily thwarted. Let us focus on the Great Commission and sure victory to come and as much as possible through His strength keep away from sin.
