Prayer

Be anxious for nothing , but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God; and the peace of the God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus.Philippians 4:6-7

Why Pray

Through prayer we begin to form a relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The scripture instructs those who believe to pray without ceasing.

And pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer's and request. With this in mind be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18

Through prayer we learn God cares. God wants to hear from you. No matter where you are with your walk with God, He still wants to spend time with you. God cares about where you are and how you are doing in life.

Feel like you are at a standstill with prayer or you attempt to spend time in prayer and get easily distracted or disgusted. God's word states, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. "Revelation 3:20 When entering into prayer we as Christians are simply answering the knock at the door!

Let's pray

Lord, I come to you in prayer, teach me to listen to you when you call me to pray. Your word says it is through the Holy Spirit we are prompted to pray; that you stand at the door and knock. Teach me to not allow distractions of any sort to keep me from my prayer time with you. Teach me how to become a great prayer warrior as you have called me to be. Do not let doubt and disbelief build a place in my heart where only faith is meant to occupy. I give to you my prayer life and ask for you to strengthen me in every aspect of prayer. Amen

Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.Isaiah 65:24

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 7:7-

When you go before God acknowledge who He is.

Thank Him for His Son Jesus, and for the infilling of the Holy Spirit

Who our Father is:

Our creator

Our redeemer

Maker of Heaven and Earth

The I am that I

If you do not have a prayer partner take steps to find one. Someone who understands the importance of prayer and delights in taking petitions before the Lord.
