Countryside Christian Church
Today, Pastor Kelly shares a special one-time message titled "When You Pray".
It could be said that one of the most neglected activities in the Christian life is Prayer.
WHY should we Pray?
Matthew 6:5-8 NIV
It’s not if it’s when you pray
God asks us to pray.
Prayer is how we connect with God.
Prayer is about building a relationship, dependency and trust in God.
There is power in Prayer.
A lack of prayer demonstrates a lack of faith and a lack of trust in God’s Word.
Is Prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?
HOW should we Pray?
Is there a proper way to pray?
We all have to learn to pray.
Matthew 6:9-13 NIV
Our Father in heaven...
Acknowledgement
Hallowed be Your name...
Worship
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done...
Trust in God
Give us this day our daily bread...
Requests
Forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors...
Confession
Do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one...
Guidance
For yours is the Kingdom & the power & the glory forever AMEN... Submission
The proper way to pray is to simply express our hearts to God.
God’s desire is for prayer to be a real and personal connection between Himself and us.
