Pray Now | Jonah and the Whale | Pastor Steve Andres

What this episode covers

The only way to fail at prayer is to not pray! This weekend Pastor Steve Andres continued our JONAH AND THE WHALE series with a message about prayer.Jonah 2:1-2Then Jonah prayed to his God from the belly of the fish. He prayed:“In trouble, deep trouble, I prayed to God. He answered me.From the belly of the grave I cried, ‘Help!’ You heard my cry.”The Bible says that Jonah was swallowed by the fish, THEN he prayed. Why do we delay so long before we call to God?1) PRAY NOW, because now is the best time to pray.Prayerlessness is pride. Thankfully, God is not too proud to answer us, even when we have looked to everyone and everything else before asking Him.2) PRAY NOW, even if you don’t know how to pray.There are no spiritual black-belts, no professionals at prayer. Even when we think we are doing well, we could never know what we need to know to pray correctly.Romans 8:26We do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us.God is actively helping you every time you go to him in prayer, translating your simple petitions into something powerful.3) PRAY NOW, because the only way to fail at prayer is to not pray.Our problem is not going to be asking or expecting too much from God. Our problem is going to be asking for and expecting too little.“Heaven is full of answers to prayers for which no one ever bothered to ask.” Billy GrahamWhat are praying for today?
