Prayer
comes from the Greek word “proseuche”. The word proseuche is
a compound of the words pros and euche; where by
pro denotes a sense of closeness and euche describes a wish, desire, prayer,
or vow. Proseuche tells us that prayer should bring us face to
face and into close contact with God i.e. that
intimate relationship with God.
Prayer
is a blessing; He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, God’s word
says; “even his prayer shall be abomination” [Prov. 28:9, 1 John 3:22].
Therefore Prayer is a
package; when we pray we praise, worship, confess, repent, thanksgiving, we
ask/request, we gives our supplication and intercession; that’s why Jesus Christ
says in Matthew 21:13; “MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER” see also Isaiah
56:7. Now meditate the case of Cornelius ~Acts 10 shall give a special insight
of a good prayer.
