Pray in line with the Word of God.

“And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” 
Luke 11:1(KJV)

Prayer is communicating with God in line with His Word. From our opening scripture, the Bible is letting us know that prayer can be taught, because the disciples came to Jesus and said to Him, “…Lord, teach us to pray,…” Since prayer can be taught, it means that prayer is both an act and a science.

It is important for you to know the right way to pray so that you can get results when you pray. The disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray because they knew that Jesus got results when He prays. I want you to know that the disciples as Jews were not strangers to prayer, so they knew what prayer was, but they were not getting results. So in other for them to get results like Jesus, they asked Him to teach them to pray.

The Word of God is the rule book of all faith and practice. So if your prayer is going to produce results, it must always be based on the Word of God. This is because when our prayer is based on God’s Word, He is obligated to perform. 

Prayer
Dear Father your Word says in Isaiah 55:11 that your Word will not return to you void but it shall prosper in that which it was sent to do. Therefore, as I pray according to your Word, I thank you because my prayers always prosper in whatsoever I ask it to do in Jesus Name. Amen.

Further Study
Matthew 24:35, Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 55:11.

Doing the Word
Instead of worrying, do this exercise; find scriptures in the Bible that deals with what you are worrying about, write them down and take each one of them and meditate on them all day long till your heart is filled with peace.
