How do you pray?

[RustyAngeL]

How do I pray? I always try to start out with humblness. Note, I said try. Like all sinners I fail, so take that in mind when I explain how I pray. The next thing is I always ask that my prayers be in his will. I am not God, I can not know exactly what is best for me, only he knows. I remember a few years ago that was a hard thing to do. It was scary submitting to something that I thought I might not want. 

 

I have learned though that I can expect the unexpected from God. Sometimes his answers are quick, though I have found that a rare occurrence for me personally. Of course, sometimes his answers are slow. He is developing in me a gigantic pause button, to see and test my faith in him. 

 

I will say I have had a unique experience just lately this past Sun. I had a direct question about an issue, and God answered in Sunday School in verbatim the answer to my question that I originally thought was biblicaly sound. Yes, I am still in awe of God. It took my breath, and it made me realize again the pure power of God.

 

I stand amazed.

Right, The Bible says "Humble   yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.

Why doesn't God answer my prayers?  Am I not praying right?  I am asking in Jesus name and according to the bible that is all I have to do.....

God will answer you if you are patient ^^ and if your prayer is right for Him.  Love in christ~~^^

God doesn't plan like we plan.

 

Well said Paul. 

 

We don't need long words  or complicated formulas. 

All we need to pray is what is on our heart and that HIS will be done , not ours. 

 

We can pray wherever we are , how amazing is that ? 

 

God Bless you Paul.

We are to pray all the time, every single time. No matter what. Through thick and thin, good or bad, mountains and valleys!

You need to talk to Him like you would a best friend. Even though you may not feel Him He is and will wait until your ready.

When I pray I like to write it down. So I can remind myself of what I prayed for and look at the list as God answers each one. I can pray out loud but I get shy when I'm in front of people. I like to usually keep it between me and God. And I do enjoy praying with Dan when I get the chance.

On some things God wants to test your faith.

On some things it's not God's time.

On some things the answer is "no".

On some things God wants you to pray more.

had to read through all the post and was surprised nobody asked you what your praying for?

God will always meet you where you're at.

 

I have noticed that its in some of my most simplest prayers to Him that His answers and deliverance have come.

God knows what we need even before we ask. He is just waiting for us to draw near to Him.

 

God can do what men can't

He gives, heals and delivers . Amen! Praise be to God.

 

Proverbs 3: 5,6

Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart,

And lean not upon your own understanding;

 

In ALL your ways

Acknowledge Him

And He shall direct your path.

 

Romans 8:28

And we know that ALL things work together for good

To those who love God,

And to those who are called according to His purpose.

 

In Him, its going to be O.K.

Things will find a way of working themselves out.
