HOW TO PRAY

Prayer is the most powerful tool you have in your arsenal. Regardless of ability, every human can pray. That is a remarkable truth. Prayer is the communication you have with God. Prayer can be a two-way conversation. Do you question if you are doing it right? How do you start if you never have? This post is for you.

  • Be yourself. God knows your voice. He wants to hear from you. Just like you desire to hear from those you care about. You know if they are putting on a front. 
  • Prayer can be done many ways. You can pray when you feel like it. Pray daily at a certain time. Pray in your mind, outloud or with others. Prayer can be long, short or in between. Just start talking.
  • Start the prayer the way that feels comfortable to you. For example, “Dear Jesus”, “Heavenly Father” or “God.”
  • Remember He just desires to spend time with you and hear your heart. 

MYTHS ON PRAYERS

MYTHS ON PRAYER

Prayer is a privilege we have and a promise that God is listening. We pray because we have a relationship with God or desire one. It would be impossible to have a relationship with anyone without some sort of communication. Prayer is our direct line to One who loves us most. Below is a list of myths that prohibit our feelings towards prayer. 

  • If you do not say in “Jesus Name” it will not count. Psalms 145:19

God does not play games with us. If you call out, He is faithful to listen. 

  • Only devout Christians have a direct line to God.

Even the person who is saying His name for the first time will be heard and loved. Luke 15:4

  • It is wrong to ask for prayer for myself. Mark 14:32

You are withholding the greatest gift you have. Pray for yourself often. Express all your needs. God wants to hear from you. Jesus prayed for himself.It is disrespectful to fall asleep while praying. You may fall asleep because you feel safe.
