Prayer Pattern in Your Hand!

Matthew 6:9-13 After this manner therefore pray ye:

PRAISE: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

PURPOSE: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

PROVISION: Give us this day our daily bread.

PARDON: And forgive us our debts,

PEOPLE: as we forgive our debtors.

PROTECTION: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

PRAISE! For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

THE DIFFERENCEI got up early one morning and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish that I didn’t take time to pray.

Problems just tumbling about me, and heavier came each task;

“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered. He answered: “You didn’t ask.”

I wanted to see joy and beauty – but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;

I wondered why God didn’t show me, He said: “But you didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into God’s presence, I used all my keys at the lock

God gently and lovingly chided: “My child, you didn’t knock.”

I woke up early this morning and paused before entering the day;

I had so much to accomplish that I had to take time to pray.

Senior Pastor Don Haymon II began his journey as a minister when he was raised in the home of the founder of Calvary Apostolic Church—his father. In 1986 he concluded a four-year internship under his father as associate pastor. It was at that time that he received his ordination certificate as a minister of the gospel. He married LaRonda Ellard, in 1992. He earned a bachelor of arts in Communication from the University of Denver the same year. In 1997, Don became senior pastor. In 2013 he graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Christian Leadership from Hope International University. Today, he is the passionate shepherd of Calvary Apostolic Church of Denver, guided by a compelling and true call of God.

Under his leadership, he has founded six churches in Burma. The challenge of communicating the Acts 2:38 gospel worldwide remains his heartbeat as well as the constant growth pattern of the local church in Denver. He and LaRonda are the parents of three grown children. They reside in Castle Rock, CO. View more posts

The message last night and this blog post was right on time and spoke to my situation. I was awoken in my sleep around 1:00am and started praying. It was 3:00am by the time I felt like going back to sleep. That was definitely the most fervent prayer I have ever experienced. I tapped into a power source that started moving mountains I had built with my own hands. So much disappointment had happened up to this point and things seemed disasterous. But after touching the throne of God like never before a feeling of peace with such richness flooded my soul. The first scripture I laid my eyes on the next day was this:
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, God reached out and knocked on my door and am I ever glad I answered.
