How is your Prayer Life? God wants to hear from you!

Prayer

Jesus is the foundation for prayer.
We talk to God and and heard and answered because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. God wants to hear and answer the prayers of His children!

Prayer is talking to God. 
The Holy Spirit helps us prayer when we don’t know what or how to pray.
Prayer is natural, just talking to God, but there is also the opportunity to practice and improve in our prayer life. Study the prayers of Paul and David!

We pray in His name.
We are able to pray because He opened the way, tore the temple veil. 
We pray because He offers us help and comfort.
We pray because He calls us friends.
We pray because He offers us forgiveness.
We pray because He offers us strength.
We pray because He gives our lives meaning and purpose.
We pray because often there is nothing else we can do!

Practical Tips:
Keep a prayer journal.
Write out key things you want to pray about before you start.
Read a Psalm and pray along with it. Works with other passages too!
Pray with a friend.
Pray through the attributes of God.
