SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER
We need to ensure that what we sing is “with the Spirit and with the understanding” (1Corinthians 14:15). In this study, we will consider a song that reminds us to pray. The title, “Sweet Hour Of Prayer” reminds us of a time, when we come together to pray. While we do not devote a specific service to prayer, there are places that do so. And as I examine scripture I do not believe it would be wrong to do so.
We know that we are encouraged to pray and how much we are to pray is not specified (1Thessalonians 5:17, 1Corinthians 14:15, Colossians 4:2, Ephesians 6:18, etc.). We know that when early church came together they did pray, as we read in Acts 2:42, 12:5 – “but constant prayer was offered to God for Peter by the church”, and 2Corinthians 1:11, says, “you also helping together in prayer for us”, etc.).
We also know that as Individuals we need to pray often (Matthew 6:6-7; Luke 6:12 – Jesus continued all night in prayer; James 5:13, etc.). It is a key to proper spiritual growth. Therefore, it could be something we need to consider.
