Prayer

[Bob Estey]

Paul told us to pray constantly (1 Thessalonians 5:17). I think most people are aware that prayer is not talking to the Lord, but rather, having a conversation with the Lord. I thought I should start this thread in case someone didn't know that.

James 4:7-10​

​

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

This is the best solution!

I think we can figure out whether it's God we are talking to, or if it is Satan we are talking to. The Bible tells us a lot about God.
