PRAYER

As I thought about all the book reports on prayer I came up with more questions than I did answers.  We heard about praying boldly, praying without ceasing, praying at a consistent time and place, praying in a circle, praying in the Spirit, praying for specific things, praying scripture, praying for others, praying God's will and praying in Jesus' name...just to name a few.  We also heard there are no magic formulas for prayer and there are many varied ways to pray and biblical prayers as our examples. You can pray the ACTS...adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication.  There are also many answers to prayer like:  Wait, Yes, No, Maybe and I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

So I'm thinking what I need to do is practice praying.  Ask God to give me the way He wants me to pray right now as I'm on my knees and then rely on the Holy Spirit to pray through me and for me. Use what you learned in this study; make it your starting point for prayer.  We heard about it, we studied it, we know it is important - so now - let's DO IT! And keep keeping on!
