Can You Hear Me
Now ? Philippians
4:4-9 The importance of prayer is emphasized
by Paul ACTS of prayer: v6
Three elements of effective prayer: 1) Prayer - involves adoration, devotion, worship, being still and knowing HE is God - knowing that I have to let go and let God work His purpose Psalms 139:17,18 He knows us Psalms 103: 13,14
He knows our composure - He created us ! 2) Supplication - God wants us to be earnest in our petitions Matthew 7:7,8
ask - seek - knock God wants more
than just words, He wants supplication Hebrews 5: 7,8
Christ was an example for us 3)
Thanksgiving -
anticipate and expect God’s answer v7
Peace: We
spend most of our prayer time telling God what we want,
when
we should invest as much time thanking and praising Him
!
True prayer is a way of life, not just in case of emergency
