FAITH CAPSULE: This month, pray to be remembered by God.

Psalm 106

Psalmist prayed in Psalm 106:4-5, “Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation, That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.
Pray like the psalmist.
PRAYER TIME IS NOT A PLAYING TIME.
PRAYER GROUND IS NOT A GAMING GROUND.
Prayer time is with expectation for manifestation.
Prayer time is with the character of watching.
Jesus and the disciples repeatedly ask to watch and pray.
Mathew 26:41, Jesus said, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.”
Luke 21:36, “Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
In Ephesians 6:18, the disciple states, “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”
1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.”
Jesus or His disciple asks to pray without watching.
The majority pray without watching.
Watching is an open end.
Watching can be to hide when challenges call for.
Jesus attempted to be stoned or pushed from the mountain, but the Bible states He hid Himself.
Are you a believer who prays and does not watch?
I heard about a prayer team assembling to pray for rainfall when there was no rain.
In one of the prayer meetings, not watching was demonstrated.
When the prayer was over, the rain started, and no one watched (prepared) for rain.
The youngest one brought an umbrella to move forward under the rain.
Rain prayed for was not to stagnate but to gain motion.
Are you praying and not watching?
Are you an unbelieving believer not doing as the word of God requests?
Do you lack understanding and do not know?
Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge…”
Ask to be enabled to pray with understanding praying before God.
Ask against the spirit that marks one as an unbelieving believer.
God answers prayer. God answers with yes, no, or wait.
Know God and your character should be looking up to God.
Do not look up to God with one eye while the other is on the world.
Look up to God to gain the hand of God, which is deliverance and preservation.
Looking up to God is also the character of waiting on Him without a doubt.
God cares not to ignore waiting on Him. 
Isaiah 64:4 testifies God “…acts for the one who waits for Him.” 
Look up to God continually, acknowledge Him for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He will do.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to look up to Him for His hand to rest on you.
