JESUS commands us:
Matthew 6:6
King James Version
6 But thou,
when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut thy door,
pray to thy Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
What do you pray for each day?
Do you pray at all?
What do you ask GOD?
Do you believe in GOD at all?
How should one pray?
Is there such a thing?
JESUS taught us this prayer:
Matthew 6:9-13
King James Version
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever.
Amen.
Apostle John taught us something about prayer:
1 John 5:14
King James Version
14 And this is the confidence that we have in him,
that, if we ask any thing according to his will,
he heareth us:
The common theme on praying?
To know, and conform, to GOD's will.
That's what I remind myself always.
Everything has to conform to GOD's will.
Only GOD sees all, knows all.
As born again, I pray FOUR more prayers each day:
-- Thanking GOD for everything.
-- That everyone turn to the LORD.
-- That everyone in the world be free of war, oppression, and hunger.
-- That I be guided by SPIRIT every moment.
I do not pray for riches.
I already have JESUS.
I do not pray to be famous.
JESUS is all that matters.
I do not pray complex prayers.
I have a simple, childlike heart.
I do not pray, wanting to be seen.
I pray in secret.
For anything you need, go to JESUS.
As MEDIATOR, JESUS is the Way to reach GOD.
He always reminds us to give ALL GLORY to GOD.
John 17:3-4
King James Version
3 And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth:
I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
