Prayer – Talking
to God
God is available to you
24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. He knows
everything you ever did
and
He still loves you! He
knows your future too.
He has the best plans
for your life. He cares
for you so much
that He gave His Son so
that you could be with
Him forever. “For God so
loved the world, the He
gave
His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish,
but have eternal life” (John
3:16).
You can talk to Him
about anything that
concerns you. Tell Him
your desires and
passions. Share your
concerns for your loved
ones. Talk out your
fears with Him.
Communicate to God what
is inside you without
fear.
Prayer – What do
I say?
Prayer may be
accomplished in many
ways. The best way is to
be natural, just as if
you were in the room
with Him. He is very
anxious to hear every
word you say. You can
say whatever is on your
heart. He’ll even listen
to your anger and
sadness.
In
Matthew 6:9-13,
Jesus taught the
disciples a pattern for
prayer. “This, then, is
how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your
will be done on earth as
it is in heaven. Give us
today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts, as
we also have forgiven
our debtors. And lead us
not into temptation, but
deliver us from the evil
one.’”
Prayer – Why
Pray?
Why is prayer important?
If God already knows all
about you and knows all
that He has written,
why should you pray?
It’s because God created
us to have free will. He
wants us to come to Him
willingly and not as
robotic creations. He
has given us a mind to
make decisions and the
most important decision
is about eternity. Even
though He knows the
future, we don’t know
the future choices we
will make. It’s
important to live by His
guidance to make the
right choices.
In the Bible, you will
find kings, prophets,
and ordinary people like
you and me, averted
destruction by praying
to God. One prayer
stopped the sun, one
prayed fire down from
heaven, one gained
fifteen years to his own
life, and one prayer
even saved a whole city.
These people prayed
intensely to the God who
answers
prayer.
Prayer – Talking
to God
When you pray, God
listens to your cries.
When you don’t pray, God
feels left out of your
life. “He's patient with
you, not wanting anyone
to perish, but everyone
to come to repentance” (2
Peter 3:9b).
As you pray
consistently, you are
affirming the existence
of God in your life. You
are building your faith
as you see God’s hand do
His mighty work on your
behalf just because you
asked.
“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” (Matthew
7:7-8).
God is available to you
24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. He knows
everything you ever did
and He still loves you!
