I want to give you a task my dear friend, as you are reading this… here’s the task: Ask a Christian this, “Do you know how to pray?” Most will answer with a bold YES!
But then if you turn that question around and ask, “Do you know how to pray God’s way?” You may get a pause depending on who you’re asking. Because how we pray and how God Wants us to pray are two different ways. And I can tell you man’s way is wrong.
One of God’s model prayers is in the book of Mark 11:25, God said when we stand praying we should forgive. Now how many of us never do this when we open up in prayer? The reason God is telling us this, is so He may forgive us of our trespasses when we come to Him in prayer that our prayers will be answered.
Now, that’s just model prayer but there are so many others and if we don’t spend time seeking God in His Word, we will be clueless of His divine grace and instructions.
If someone asks you the question, “Do you know how to pray?” you can boldly answer with scripture to support your answer. Because you have studied God’s Word, and you have applied the Word to your prayer life.
Now, let’s begin to use God’s Word as a template to our prayer life and watch the impact it’s going to make in your prayer!
I encourage you to study and pray without ceasing!
