What Jesus Said About PrayerSample

Enter God's presence with worship and praise

One of the most effective ways to bring us into His presence with adoration, hope and faith is to focus on His Names.

When we pray to God, let us come in worshipping Him. When we worship God, we come to Him because of who He is. When we praise God, we come to Him because of what He has done for us and is still doing for us.

As you read your Bible, mark God's names and His attributes and pray them in your prayer times. Here are just a few examples:
