The way we start our prayers says a lot about our prayer life. Do we only ask God for things, or do we start with “our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name” (Matthew 6:9)?”
Until we understand God is our Father and we are His children, we don’t understand how much He wants us to communicate with Him.
Prayer is a form of serving God (Luke 2:36-38) and obeying Him. We pray because He commands us to pray (Philippians 4:6-7)
A lack of prayer demonstrates a lack of faith and a lack of trust in God’s Word. We have His promise that the fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much (James 5:16-18).
Remember, God ALWAYS ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS. His answer may be yes, no, or not at this time.
Our prayers MUST BE FOR THE WILL OF GOD TO BE DONE IN OUR LIFE.
Praise God always
