Awakening: How To Pray預覽

PRAISE

“Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed (holy) be Your name.”

Max Lucado said, “Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference."

Prayer is not about you; prayer is all about God! Understanding that, we should begin with praise, just as Jesus did by telling God He is holy. Praise is the correct posture of prayer and it sets the atmosphere for prayer. Praise says to God, “You are the Father, and I’m your child. You’re my Creator, and I’m the creation. I’m the sinner, and you’re my Savior. You are holy!” 

Opening prayer with praise puts us in a position of humility to seek God.
