IF I PRAY LORD....WILL YOU ANSWER?
Now Jabez [ the head of a family of Judah, an honorable man] called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested. 1Ch 4:10
Our Lord has long been ready to respond to the prayers of those who believe and who follow the commandments of He who created all us. Jesus, while praying at the Gethsemane Garden, not only cautioned His disciples to be vigilant in prayer, but warned them to stay awake and be watchful; ..."Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation." - "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Luk 22:46, - Mat 26:41
Solomon wrote in Proverbs 30:7-9 --Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die: Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion, That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.
The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. - "So I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the grasp of the violent." - We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. Psa 121:7, - Jer 15:21, -1Jn 5:18
Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. - then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment. Rev 3:10, - 2Pe 2:9
