How to Pray: Developing a Intimate Relationship With God

Top Highlights

“Experiencing a meaningful time with God is the most basic of the basics of Christianity” (source)

“In my prayer time, I like to begin with a time of confession. This confession travels along two avenues. The first area of confession that I like to make in my daily prayers is the confession that I am nothing without the Lord. I cry out to God, confessing to Him my helpless state before Him. I declare that I am inadequate and need this time of fellowship with Him in prayer. I often quote the words our Lord spoke to His disciples: ‘Apart from Me you can do nothing’ (John 15:5). I confess daily to the Lord that without Him I am nothing.” (source)

“Do not begin to pray seriously without this Book in your hand. Prayer and the Bible are like two wings on an airplane: You will not reach your destination without both of them. Your destination is discerning the will of God about all matters of life. The way you do this is through prayer and through the Bible.” (source)

“ you will learn to spend one hour a day with God, there is no telling what God may choose to do with you.’” (source)

“God will answer specific prayers that are directed to Him and linked with the authoritative name of Jesus.” (source)
