What is prayer?

Each week we are focusing on one of 6 Keys to Christian Growth. This week, our topic is prayer.

What is prayer? Prayer is just talking with God and being with Him. As a Christian, you are a child of God and can pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ. Just like you would have a conversation with someone you love, you can tell God you love Him. You can praise and worship Him, since He is God. Ask God for forgiveness for any sins you may have committed.

It is also important to listen to Him. While God does not talk to you in a voice you can hear, if you are quiet you can often sense His presence.

And God wants us to ask Him for what is good. You can pray for God’s blessing on your friends and family, and that God would save your loved ones who may not know Jesus Christ.

It is important to spend time with God each day. It can be a good idea to set aside a certain time each day to pray and talk with God; many people find that the first thing in the morning is a good time of day.

Finally, pray in faith. God honors and answers prayer that we pray believing for His will to be done. So, this week, let us pray that

  • God would save your friends and family who may not already be Christians
  • God would help us at Global Media Outreach be protected and full of His love and joy and peace
  • God would provide for us so that we could reach millions with the gospel

We hope you will have a great time each day spending time with God. THANK YOU so much for your prayers!

May God bless you,
