Prayer is CONVERSATING with God

Psalm 5:1-3 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my sighing. Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray. In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

1) GUT LEVEL HONESTY

Exodus 5:22-23 So Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Lord, why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all.”

Matthew 6:5, 7 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men… And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.”

2) ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS TO YOU

Philippians 4:6 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”

3) TALK CONTINUALLY

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Smith Wigglesworth

Never prayed for more than 20 minutes at a time.

Smith Wigglesworth Never prayed for more than 20 minutes at a time. But never went more than 20 minutes without praying.

4) LISTEN FOR HIS RESPONSE

Deuteronomy 4:29 “You will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3
