Seasons of Prayer

There are seasons for everything. A season is a short period of time, a opportune moment, an hour, or set time period. When we refer to prayer and seasons of prayer we are talking about specific prayer moments, experiences, opportunities, different in their intensity and duration from other kinds of prayer.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance..."

Paul exhorted the church in Ephesus to pray "with all prayer." In his letter to Timothy Paul exhorted Timothy to teach men to pray everywhere… and to pray with supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks.

1 Timothy 2:1 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men..."

Ephesians 6:18 "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints..."

1 Timothy 2:8 "I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."

There are Seasons of:
-Repentance and brokenness.
-Seeking for knowledge and God' direction.
-All night, praying through, and touching God.
-Praying in the Spirit.
-Pleadings and groaning a not understood.
-Worship and thanksgiving.

How often we miss the best of what God has for us because we did not care enough to seek or search diligently. Pray is a precious gift of God by which we gain access to the Father, and through which we find mercy and grace to help in the time of need. Let us be among those that "Seek his face continually."
