• Exodus 17:6-16 AV • 8 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in

Rephidim. 9 And Moses said unto Joshuab, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand. 10

So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he

let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a

stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon;

TRUTHS ABOUT PRAYER:

PRAYER IS THE EXPRESSION OF HUMILITY. • 2 Chronicles 7:14

Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

• PRAYER IS THE EXPRESSION OF LOVE. Psalm 63:1-2 O God, You are my God;

Early will I seek You;My soul thirsts for You;My flesh longs for YouIn a dry and thirsty landWhere there is no water.
