Prayer meeting on September 23

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." -Mark 11:24

Why do we pray?

-We are invited to by God Himself.
-There is power there.
-It moves the heart of God.
-It connects us with God through Jesus.
-To invite God to be at work in our lives.

4 four tips that can make a healthy conversation with God:

1. Adoration. To show adoration to God is to worship, praise, honor and exalt Him. In other words, respect Him, be in awe of Him, say wonderful things about Him. Psalm 103 and 145 are good examples of adoring the Lord.

2. Confession. When we begin to acknowledge how great, perfect and awesome our God is, we can’t help but recognize our weaknesses and sins. Admitting and confessing our sins (1 John 1:9), and knowing He has forgiven our past, present and future sins is vital to our prayer life. God is a Holy God, so we need to come to Him with a clean heart. “He would not have listened if I had not confessed my sins” (Psalm 66:18).

3. Thanksgiving. Giving thanks expresses our faith, and it is faith that pleases God. In Hebrews 11:6 we read, “And without faith it is impossible to please God.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ concerning you.” We don’t necessarily give thanks for the circumstances, but give thanks for His total provision during good - and painful - circumstances.

4. Supplication. Asking seems to come naturally to children. As God’s children, we can freely talk to Him, asking Him for anything. And like any caring parent, He will say,“Yes” to some of our requests, “No” some of the time, and at times, He will say, “Wait.”
