Admin	The Essentials of Prayer Posted : 21 May, 2011 07:44 PM The Essentials of Prayer Matthew chapter 6 1. Communion with God. When believers pray we are to share our hearts and cares with God. 2. Adoration to God. We are to show great love, give praise and worship to God, and toward God. 3. Thanksgiving is given to God. Our prayers should include thanks to God for all He has done, all that He is doing, and for all He is going to do in our lives. 4. Confession of sins. When we pray our prayer should include sincere confession of our sins and repentance of our sins, and seek His cleansing power of forgivenness of our sins. 5. Intercession for help. Our prayer should include interceeding on behalf of people all over the world for healing, deliverance, and the lost unto salvation. Prayer is not for God's benefit, it is for our benefit. God commands us to always pray wihtout ceasing, it is our tool to stay connected with Him. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much. Our prayers go where we cannot go in the physical, and accomplishes what we cannot in the spiritual. And this is the confidence that we have in God, that if we ask anything according to His perfect will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. Prayer is a tool that get us guick access before the throne of God when we come boldy without doubting. Post Reply

Your post said God derives no benefit from our prayers and I said I think it brings Him great joy when we pray. And complimented you on your post. A simple thank you would of been sufficient! *sigh* Post Reply

View Profile History	The Essentials of Prayer Posted : 21 May, 2011 09:54 PM @ P.J., Yes, I KNOW God answers prayer. I just don't believe there is a set formula to get Him to do so. If there were, wouldn't that mean EVERY prayer would be answered as long as we went by an outline? I've simply, prayed, "HELP"! on occassion and He Immediately Answered! Post Reply
View Profile History	The Essentials of Prayer Posted : 21 May, 2011 09:59 PM What I said was God does not answer pray, if that was the case he would answer all buddist, muslims, and any other religion. Yes there are guide lines, it depends on the type of prayer. Post Reply
View Profile History	The Essentials of Prayer Posted : 21 May, 2011 10:03 PM Jesus taught His disciples how to pray and instructs us to pray in the same manner. Maybe you guys are unaware and don't know the Lord's Prayer or as sometimes called the Disciples Prayer and its importants... But These essentail elements in His prayer as He taught are to be include in our prayers when we as Christins pray, which are the essentials of a fervent effective prayer as I have listed. And should be always considered when praying. Please don't dispute with me, have a little talk with Jesus about this, because He is the one who put forth these important elements as to how and what we are to include in prayers spiritually. Now what order you use these elements in your prayers to bring you into fellowship and spriitual expression of your purpose for praying, and affirim your faith in God, that's up to you and between God.
