Prayer alone is not enough. In fact Proverbs 28:9 state that our prayers are detestable by God if we reject the knowledge of our faith - the Holy Bible.
Almost anyone who went to Sunday School or grew up attending a children's ministry would have learnt that 'the Bible is your sword'. But it's only been in recent years that I've come to fully realise the truth of that phrase, and how reading the Bible can increase our relationship with God. As we read more of the Bible, we can start to understand what God requires of us and what it really means to be a follower of Jesus.
Some verses in the Bible that reinforce the power and vitality in God's Word include:
- "Put on the whole armour of God...which is the Word of God" - Ephesians 6:11-17
- "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God" - Matthew 4:4
- "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope"- Romans 15:4
