Audacious Prayer Tactics

“When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.” (Mark 2:4 MSG)

Who are we carrying to Jesus right now in prayer? Are we breaking through? If not, how can we be more bold, unconventional, invasive? We may need more audacious prayer tactics. I don’t mean we are to be aggressive towards God, but we need to be more resourceful in breaking down barriers that separate us from Him.

Distractions, desires, fears, and other numerous obstacles stand between us and Christ. Audacious prayer tactics involve methodically tearing down each barrier. We need to be assertive and ambitious in our efforts. We must push through--refusing to succumb to discouragement and exhaustion. Pray consistently with determination. Boldly approach Christ, knowing that He wants us to be close. Once in His presence, confidently release everything to Him. “Trust Him. He knows what he’s doing, and he will keep on doing it.” (1 Peter 4:19 MSG)

Holy Spirit, enable us to break through the barriers between ourselves and Christ. Teach us to pray audaciously and persistently.
