Pray Pray Pray

All of us long to connect with someone who can identify with our circumstances and share in our day-to-day life. Prayer is just that - a personal experience and intimate connection with our loving Heavenly Father.
Prayer is the act of addressing God for the purpose of worshiping or petitions (requests). Specific forms of this may include praise, requesting help or guidance, confessing sins, or an expression of one's thoughts and emotions. The words used in prayer may take the form of intercession, a song or words of gratitude and thanksgiving. Praying can be done in public, as a group, or in private. Prayer will take different forms during different times of your life. The Bible commands us to Pray with ceasing (pray without stopping). Pray when you wake up, on your way to school or work, during school or work, in the evening. You can pray out loud, you can pray silently. You can sing a song or read a Psalm. Just don't stop praying. It is key to having a successful and intimate relationship with God. Here's some keys:

Praising God, thanking Him for what He's blessed you with
Requesting help, guidance, wisdom
Allowing God to speak to you
Yielding your life to His Will
Expressing your heart, desires, thoughts and emotions
Receiving God's blessing and instructions for your life


Pray without Stopping! It changes things, but most importantly, it changes you to be more like Jesus!

Be Blessed,
