Men Pray Everywhere

"I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting."  I Timothy 2:8.  God wills that we pray.  His ear is open unto the prayer of the righteous.  Through prayer, His help is made available.  God wills that the church everywhere pray.  His people are to call upon Him, and beseech Him for His goodness and for His blessings.  In prayer, we are to give thanks.  We are to be ever mindful that we have received from Him those gifts which are given by Him.  Prayer is a marvelous privilege that God has afforded unto His people.  But, there is a character of prayer that we must possess.  We are to have holy hands.  We are not to be defiled.  We must remove ourselves from the sinfulness of society, and seek the perfection of holiness.  Our lives are to be without wrath.  We must not have a heart of hatred that seeks vengeance.  We must love and forgive.  Our prayers are to be without doubt.  We must come to God in prayer with faith.  We believe that God is willing and able to give and do that which we request of Him.  Pray at all times and in all places with a character that is becoming our approach unto the Great God.
