Secrets of Prayer

After many years of growth, these are just a few lessons I have learned about prayer.

First, prayer involves praising and thanking God for who He is and what He has done.

Second, prayer involves confessing what we have done wrong and turning away from sin.

Third, prayer involves lifting others before the throne of God.

Fourth, prayer involves accepting God's blessings and gifts.

An effective method for prayer involves praying Scripture, such as asking for and accepting the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22), putting on the armor of God (Eph. 6), and using the apostle Paul's prayers for the churches in order to pray for the people in your life.

These ideas are simply some of the areas where God has been teaching me.
