CALL TO PRAY – MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY: NOT TO COMPLAIN ON EVERY CAUSE!

“. . . Men ought ALWAYS TO PRAY and not to complain, faint, weary or give up for any cause” Luke 18:1/Paraphrase

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, PRAYERS, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and turn from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their LAND [NATION]. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15/Emphasis Mine.

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH a NATION: but SIN is a reproach to any people” Proverbs 14:34.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35.
