Questions about Prayer
by David Jeremiah
has fifty answers to questions concerning prayers. Prayer is wonderful; it's an amazing gift from your Father who loves you. It's strange that some people only think to pray if they're in a life threatening situation. It's the last thing they think of; instead, you should be in constant communication with Him. You can pray anytime of day or night, anywhere you are every single day and He is listening, waiting for you to come to Him. You can pray in a group or by yourself; you can pray out loud or quietly in your mind, or write them in a prayer journal; as long as you talk to Him, it doesn't matter.
How does Prayer draw you closer to God? When we pray, we are talking to God about our hopes, dreams and our problems, much like we would talk to our family or friends. The more we talk to Him, the closer we become. We begin to see things differently and make better decisions. Don't give up if God doesn't answer your prayers immediately; He is listening and He will answer in His time.
What can you ask for in Prayer? When you pray to the Father in Jesus' name, you can ask Him for anything.
"Ask, and it will be given to you, seek, and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)
When we pray in faith about anything, we don't know what His answer will be, but we do know it will be for good and sometimes far better than you could have imagined.
Why Pray? We pray trusting in God for His blessings in the present and our future in the name of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. As we pray, we should be grateful to Him for all that we have.
Why is it important to have a regular time of prayer? Even though our lives are busy and we don't seem to have enough time in the day, we need to make the time, even for a few moments to just be with Him.
When we make time to pray in our busy lives, we're letting God know that He is very important to us. Actually, He should be the most important one in your life.
Jesus was so busy during His time on earth, but He always stopped and prayed to His Father. Shouldn't we do the same? If you're not quite sure how to pray, this is the perfect book. He is waiting for you to come to Him in prayer.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." Philippians 4:6
