How to Pray

Often we find ourselves in morning prayer with not much to pray or we just can’t find the words to say. So I have some suggestions to help you.


First I start off with the Lords Prayer from the Gospel of Matthew:


Our Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom cpme.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever.
Amen. Matthew 6:9-13


In this single simple prayer I ask that his name be hallowed giving him praise. That his kingdom, which is asking for Jesus to return. I pray that his will be done not mine on earth as it is in heaven. I pray that He supplies me with my daily food. I pray that He forgives my sins as I am to forgive those who sin against me. I ask him to keep from the temptations of satan and to deliver me from the evil of satan. I ask again that his kingdom come praising him for his power and glory.


In this simple prayer Jesus taught us six requests, three for our needs and three asking for his kingdom to come. Which again mean your praying for Christ’s second coming.


One simple prayer that Jesus taught us to cover all the bases. If said with all your strenght soul and mind as Jesus wanted you to then those three requests in the prayer will be met.


But don’t stop there. Now is the time to talk to God and bring to your requests before him. As it says in 1 John ” Now this is the confidence we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we ask of Him. 1John 14,15. So bring your requests to the Lord. He already knows your needs but He wants to hear them from you.


God Bless you
