This page teaches Christians why and how to pray for others and deepen their own prayer life. We emphasize that Prayer is a continual, two-way conversation with God, a privilege made richer through faith in Jesus. Our articles answer common questions (intercessory Prayer, praying for unbelievers, God’s will, public Prayer), and encourage intentional, frequent Prayer anywhere, anytime. We suggest organizing Prayer with praise, repentance, intercession, and personal requests (P-R-A-Y), highlighting praying for many groups (family, government, church, pastors, children, nations, Jerusalem, missionaries, etc.), and anchoring everything in Scripture. We stress praying simply and sincerely, trusting God’s timing, and using Prayer to grow closer to Him and receive guidance, wisdom, and encouragement.

It is vital to grasp this concept so that we never feel disheartened or believe that praying is an exercise in futility. Prayer extends beyond simply talking to God; it is about seeking His will for our lives and wholeheartedly embracing it at every step. Whenever I approach Him in Prayer, I find myself asking earnestly: “Lord, what do you want me to do?”

Through His grace and the teachings of His Word found within the pages of the Bible itself, I often receive gentle nudges towards fulfilling His purpose for me and helping me to avoid the sins that tempt us. So, let your heart be filled with encouragement as you embark on this incredible prayer journey. Know that you can communicate with an all-knowing and loving  God. ~ Bill Greguska

How To Pray ~ What Does Prayer Mean To You?

  • Prayer is a two-way conversation with God, although Christians pray for one another in group settings.
  • It is the most intimate relationship you can have with the Creator of the world.
  • In Prayer, your spirit and the Spirit of God are in connection with one another.
  • This can lead to instruction, guidance, and suggestions for new areas to focus on in your prayers.

 

 

How Often Do You Pray To God?

Pray to God, ask him, thank Him, obey Him! Martin Luther was known to have said, “The fewer the words, the better the prayer,” which is an excellent rule of thumb. Prayer is simply talking directly with God. Meditation is listening to what God says. Remember that when you pray to God, do so as though He were sitting right next to you; you had a conversation with Him. When we pray to God, it opens our eyes to things we cannot see on our own. Has Prayer been a part of your life in the last six months?

Prayer is like a bridge; it helps you understand things you might not otherwise understand on your own! Pray to God each day and grow closer to Him! God will never leave you; we turn our backs on Him. Pray to God daily and throughout your day to gain wisdom and understanding. If not, today can be the day to begin a morning prayer time to start the day off right. ~ Bill Greguska

When And How Can You Talk With God?

We cannot spend all our time on our knees praying, but we can maintain a sincere, prayerful attitude throughout our day. God is always with you so that you can talk to Him 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You do not have to be in a church to talk with God, nor do you have to sound religious to speak to God. You do not have to do anything but tell God what you are going through and ask Him to direct your steps.

 

Is There A Set Formula For Praying?

God wants us to share our concerns, fears, and desires. We need to talk to God as though we were speaking with a close friend, because that is what He wants to be to you and me. 
The Bible mentions Prayer frequently, including Jesus’ words on Prayer, which we refer to as “The Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6:9-13. There is a parable Jesus shared with his disciples that speaks directly to Prayer.

When You Pray To God, You Are Pleasing God!

A prayer of hope!

When you pray to God, pray confidently since God will answer all of our prayers in His time, not ours.

Having a relationship with God is impossible unless you spend time with Him. One of the best ways to do that is through Prayer. There is no one right way to pray to God. However, the following are some practical ideas.

 

  • Sometimes, people fall into praying when they want or need something from God. The shortest Prayer I know is, “Help me, God!” But the Bible says we should “pray without ceasing.” Keep God in your thoughts and prayers, and make requests for yourself and others.

 

  • Find a place to pray that you will not be disturbed. Jesus said, “But when you pray, go into your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father, who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” 

 

  • Keep it straightforward and honest; don’t focus on eloquent words or long prayers. Jesus also said, “And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases,” thinking that God will hear you better if you talk more, “for your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:7-8).

 

  • Say the Lord’s Prayer, but say it slowly. The words are found in Matthew, chapter 6. If you can recite it by heart without thinking, take the time to look at the words from a fresh perspective to see how Jesus is telling you to pray.
