The Importance of Prayer During a Test (Episode 6)

This podcast episode addresses the importance of prayer during a test in your life. Everybody has difficult times in his life at one time or another. Prayer is the means by which we invite God into the affairs of our life during adversities. Of course, that is not the only time we should pray. But that is the focus of this episode. If you don’t earnestly pray during the difficult times in your life, you are making a serious statement about what you believe or don’t believe about prayer. If a person truly believes in the power of prayer, he will earnestly pray during the trying times in his life.

Jesus is our example. He took on the form of a human servant. He modeled the importance of prayer during a test while in the Garden of Gethsemane. It was the most trying time of His entire public ministry.

As believers, we have the awesome opportunity to talk with the living God. More importantly, He hears our prayers and in due season, He answers our prayers. In this episode, Frank King stresses the need for Christians to develop the habit of prayer BEFORE difficult times come. That's because being able to faithfully pray through a test is not incidental to being a Christian. Rather, it is a discipline that we must develop.
