How much time are you spending in prayer speaking 2 God? How will u know what he wants or better yet know him at all if u don’t speak with him.

In order 2 learn how 2 pray for others u must first learn how 2 pray 2 God. Its about a relationship first and four most. What loving father doesn’t have a relationship with their son? What loving father doesn’t speak 2 their son?

And john 17:3 says knowing the father is having eternal life. Its having communication with God. When theres no communication theres a breakdown of relationship. Then assumptions are made. We loose our navigation and then become lost. Pray is one on one with God and its vital 2 maintain a relationship with him or we end up like the lost child at the mall who’s strayed away from the parent.

Matthew 6

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

You don’t have 2 repeat urself over and over again just make sure its coming from the heart and its genuine. A God place 2 start is 2 pray for his will and not ur will, pray 4 his will 2 be inside you. Pray for people dat are in need.

Pray 4 something dat will benefit his kingdom then he will add on 2 you ur needs also. Like Solomon did when he asked for wisdom and not riches and then God rewarded him with wisdom and 10 fold in riches also. 1 Kings 3:1-15. first seek the kingdom of God and then all things will be added onto you matt 6:33.

1 peter 5:5 God rejects the proud but gives grace 2 the humble. Proverbs 8:17 God loves tho’s who seek him early. Eph 6:18 we must pray always with supplication.

If ur struggling wiv sin pray for strength from God 2 overcome ur sin.

Matthew 7:9-11 King James Version (KJV)
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 7:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Your thoughts, your emotions, these are better than bullocks and he-goats to be offered on the altar: God will accept them. Worship him with lowliest reverence, for you are nothing, and he is all in all.” (Spurgeon)

If we believe what Nebuchadnezzar believed about God, it will certainly show in our prayer life. We will know that God can change the heart and mind of man, the course of rivers, the flow of the oceans, the distribution of resources, and the assignment of angels.

You can just speak 2 God in ur mind you don't have 2 necessarily go to a quiet place or the church!! u can call out 2 him when u go for a walk. seek him and u shall find him jer 29:13, him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out, John 6:37 Seek him diligently, maybe he's waiting 2 see if ull seek him continually wiv a genuine heart then he will respond.

Also wilful sin creates a wedge between u and God, Isaiah 59:2 he wont respond unless ur truly repentant, he's eyes are 2 pure 2 look at sin!! Habakkuk 1:13 but he's open 2 the prayers of the righteous 1 pet 3:12
