What the Bible Says
About Prayer

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." Matthew 26:41

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8

"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 19:19-20

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. " Mark 11:24-25

10 Steps to Prayer

1. Find a comfortable place where you won't be interrupted. Read several chapters of one of the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.

2. Close your eyes: give thanks for three things. Move toward God and away from self-sufficiency.

3. Ask God to bless and help three other people who you believe may need God's help today. Move toward others and away from self-centeredness.

4. Ask God to forgive your sins and mistakes as you confess them; ask God to give you the strength to forgive.

5. Ask God to help one other person that you find hard to like. Ask for insight into that person's problems and how you may allow God's love to flow through you.

6. Ask to be sensitive today toward the needs of one person with whom you may share God's love by word and deed.

7. Ask for insight into your own personal problems.

8. Ask for help in achieving your personal goals.

9. Ask God to tell you the most important thing you need to do

today in order to “seek first His kingdom.”

10. Listen for three minutes for what God may say to you.
