NEW LIFE IN CHRIST – LESSON 4

Last lesson we learn the importance of prayer. Now let’s look at how we should pray. In the 6th chapter of Matthew, Jesus says much about how we should pray. Verses 5 & 6 tell us not to pray for the reason to be seen or heard by men, but that much of our praying is to be done alone with God. Verses 7 & 8 say not to use repetition to make your prayers long, just pray what is in your heart and mean what you pray. Looking into verses 9 – 13 we are instructed to honor God when we pray, ask for our daily needs, ask forgiveness for our sins and empower us to live free from satan. And then verses 14 & 15, we learn that we MUST FORGIVE OTHERS if we are to be forgiven. Jesus was telling us to talk to God about everything. That being said, you have much to pray each and every day. Prayer is a habit, a way of life that only you can make happen. If you have not started to have an alone time with God in prayer, then start today. As you talk with Him each day, it will become a “normal” part of your daily life. Prayer, as you practice it, will allow you to become more acquainted with the One who gave His Son so that you would be able to enjoy fellowship with Him eternally.
