Pray rightly

“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)

From our opening scripture, the disciples of Jesus came and asked Him to teach them to pray. This shows us that prayer is a science. When we say that prayer is a science, we mean that prayer is governed by principles.

Therefore, there are certain principles you have to know to get results in prayer. This is important because many people pray, but they do not get results when they pray. This was why the disciples of Jesus wanted Him to teach them to pray even though they were Jews. Jews are a praying people, yet they wanted Jesus to teach them to pray. Why? They noticed that Jesus was always getting results whenever He prayed. Therefore, they wanted to know how to pray to get results always.

Child of God it is important you know today that God wants you to always get the right results every time you pray.

Therefore, whenever you want to pray, you have to forgive, because holding offence can hinder your prayer(See Mark 11:25). Also, when you pray, pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus(See John 16:23).

It is also important for you to be specific when praying(See James 1:5). Always pray in faith without doubting(James 1:6). Always pray in line with the Word of God(See Hosea 14:2). It is also important you know that you receive the answer to your prayer when you pray(See Mark 11:24).
