“Is Your Soul Cool? Put On A Blanket Of Prayer” – Bible study

The above titled words were on a church building marquee sign that I saw this morning while driving to do some errands. As Christians, we do indeed need to put on a blanket of prayer in order to keep our soul from becoming cool in serving the Lord.

Putting on a blanket of prayer will do the following:

• Cover us in time of trial and trouble (cf. Acts 12:1-10; Romans 15:30-32; 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3).

• Cover us in times of sorrow and loss (Acts 20:36-38).

• Cover us so that we may not do evil (2 Corinthians 13:7).

• Cover the inner man (Ephesians 3:11-16).

• Cover us so that we may open our mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel (Ephesians 6:18-19).

• Cover us so that the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds from any distressing worry or fear (Philippians 4:6-7).

• Cover us to give thanks to God for His blessings (Colossians 1:3-6).

• Cover us so that we might be filled with the knowledge of Gods will (Colossians 1:9).

• Cover us so that we might walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10-11).

• Cover us so that we may be made complete or spiritually steadfast (2 Corinthians 13:9; cf. 1 Thessalonians 3:10).

• Cover us to be blameless and holy (1 Thessalonians 3:13 NIV).

• Cover us in confessing our sins so that we may be right with God (1 John 1:5-9; cf. Psalm 32:5-7).

Lets keep our soul warm by putting on a blanket of prayer, continually serving the Lord (Acts 6:4; cf. Acts 2:42).
