Help Me with My Prayer Life
People often ask me questions about prayer. Jesus' disciples asked Him how to pray, for they saw that He often got away to pray. Here is a summary of what Jesus said to do:
Address God as Father. Through Jesus, we can know God personally as our Father - the embodiment of the ideal dad.
Praise. Praise His name and character traits. It makes our problems seem small when we remember how great God is.
Pray for His will to be done. This begins with us, but carries over to praying for others.
Pray for daily needs. God wants to meet our needs, but don't confuse needs and wants.
Confess your sins. Ask God's forgiveness and ask God's help in forgiving others who wrong you.
Ask for protection and strength in the face of temptation and evil.
Jesus teaches the basics on prayer. Find a quiet spot and give it a try. And, remember, prayer life gets better with practice.
