Most Christians don’t know how to pray. Many believe in long charismatic prayers, while others are filled with self gratification. Jesus told the disciples to pray in private. Don’t babble. There is no need for many words. Your prayer can be as simple as The Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:5-14).
· Prayer is communication with God
· Prayer is an action – praying without ceasingThes. 5:17.
· Prayer is supplication – Phil. 4:6
· Prayer is NOTvain repetition Mat 6:7
When you begin praying, your petitions should be directed to God. Opposed to egotistical prayers of your desires, start by giving thanks for everything – life, health, home, joband family. Pray for the sick, shut-in, friends andstrangers. Most important, seek God’s will and welcomed the Holy Spirit into my life.
Father God, help me to become more conscious of giving you thanks, praise and less selfish desires. Help me to grow spiritually and conform to your will. This I pray in your son Jesus Christ name – Amen.
