WHAT IS PRAYER? Prayer is communicating with God. Prayer is expressing our devotion to our Heavenly Father, inviting Him to talk to us as we talk to Him. Prayer is a dialog between man and God. Service to God (Luke 2:36-38)

WHO CAN PRAY? Anyone can pray, but only those who walk in faith and obedience to Christ can expect to receive answers to their prayers. John 14:6 Psalm 66:18 Mark 11:25 Matthew 9:29; 21:22 1 st John 5:14,15

WHY ARE WE TO PRAY? God’s word commands us to pray. Acts 6:4 Mark 14:38 Philippians 4:6 Colossians 4:2 1 st Timothy 2:1,2

TO WHOM DO WE PRAY? We pray to the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:26,27,34

WHEN SHOULD WE PRAY? Luke 18:1.. God’s word commands us to “Pray Continually. (1 st Thessalonians 5:17). Although prayer cannot be reduced to a formula, certain basic elements should be included in our communication with God: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication (ACTS). A – Adoration To adore God is to worship and praise Him, to honor and exalt Him in our heart and mind and with our lips. C – Confession When our discipline of prayer begins with adoration, the Holy Spirit has opportunity to reveal any sin in our life that needs to be confessed.

T – Thanksgiving An attitude of thanksgiving to God, for who He is and for the benefits we enjoy because we belong to Him, enables us to recognize that He controls all things – not just the blessings, but the problems and adversities as well. As we approach God with a thankful heart, He becomes strong on our behalf. S – Supplication Supplication includes petition for our own needs and intercession for others.
