Always Something to Pray For

I Timothy 2:1-3 NKJV

"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is  good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,"

I had a revelation about these verses a while back, and its nice to re read them and receive that revelation again! Many times we think that we have run out things to pray about. We come on our knees and get up minutes later because we don't know what else to pray about. Here it names many things to stand in prayer with. Prayer is a privledge yes, but it also work! Since we now know that there are hours worth of prayer, now all that's left is the to actually pray. And since these verses ask to prayer for ruler, again we are shown that prayer is powerful! And it is also our key to "a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."

Your Prayer Has Been Heard

Luke 1:13 NKJV

"But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John."

Its interesting that the angel came and said "your prayer has been heard". Zacharias was old, so was his wife... So I'm sure they had lost both faith and hope of ever having a child, meaning that they probably stopped praying about having one. The angel said it as if the payer has happened recently! Maybe God was hearing his past prayers?? I mean I know God hear all our prayers and takes them in account. All recorded!... But it's just cool to think Zacharias' past prayers were still being heard! And then finally answered! Gives me reassurance about my unanswered prayers; it's nice to be reminded that He still hears the prayers we've already prayed and will eventually answer in His good time.
