Prayer Is...

Devote yourself to prayer, being watchful and thankful. -Colossians 4:2

4 Reasons Why We Don't Pray

1. We're not sure how
2. We get distracted (squirrel!)
3. Our requests are too small - we feel we shouldn't bother God with them
4. We feel our prayers don't make a difference

Here is what prayer is - prayer is communicating with God.

God hears our voice and our heart.

When it comes to prayer, there's no "one size fits all" approach. There are many ways to communicate with God.

Don't feel like you have to be perfect.

4 Ways to Communicate with God

1) Pray with absolute honesty

God wants us to be authentic.

2) Pray about everything that matters to you

If you can worry about it, you can pray about it.

If it's important to you, and you are God's child, it's important to God.

We are to cast all our cares on Him.

3) Pray continuously

Day after day after day.

Be consistent and persistent with your prayers.

Be intentional throughout the day.

4) Pray with faith

Expect that something is going to happen.

Prayer is just communicating to God. Think of it as having a good talk with your closest friend.

That is all God wants - to be part of your life.

Can I get an Amen!
