20 Times When We Need To Pray – Benny Shobo

There are no set times that we need to pray to God because God is Omni-Present, Omni-Scient and Omni-Potent. In other words, we can boldly approach God’s throne of grace through the Redeeming Blood of Jesus that was shed for us on the Cross of Calvary. Hebrews 4:16, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need”. Unlike mankind, God does not sleep nor slumber, He is ever present when we need Him. Psalm 121:3-4, “He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keeps thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep”.

However, there are certain times that we may need to pray due to our circumstances, occasions, moods and challenges. David and Daniel in the Bible are excellent examples of those who prayed at certain times, up to three to seven times a day, through their victories and difficult challenges. Psalm 119:164, “Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws”.

Also, in Daniel 6:10, “Daniel always prayed to God three times every day. Three times every day, he bowed down on his knees to pray and praise God. Even though Daniel heard about the new law, he still went to his house to pray. He went up to the upper room of his house and opened the windows that faced toward Jerusalem. Then Daniel bowed down on his knees and prayed just as he always had done”.
