Prayer is the Christian’s way of communicating with God.
We pray to praise God and thank Him and tell Him how
much we love Him. We pray to enjoy His presence and
tell Him what is going on in our lives. We pray to make
requests and seek guidance and ask for wisdom. God
loves this exchange with His children, just as we love the
exchange we have with our children. Fellowship with
God is the heart of prayer. Too often we lose sight of how
simple prayer is really supposed to be.
When we make petitions to God, we let God know exactly
where we stand and what we would like to see happen. In
our prayers, we must admit that God is greater than we are
and ultimately knows what is best in any given situation.
God is good and asks us to trust Him.
In prayer, we say, essentially, “Not my will, but your will be
done” (Luke 22:42). The key to answered prayer is praying
according to the will of God and in accordance with His
Word. Prayer is not seeking our own will but seeking to
align ourselves with the will of God.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS QUICK REFRESHER.
