What does it mean to truly pray?

How is your prayer life?

How to pray according to the will of God?

PRAYER is simply our interaction or communion with God. A solemn request for help or expression of thanks to God.

In Matthew 6 verse 9 to 14 Jesus Christ taught his disciples how to pray the right prayer to God.

The four types of prayer every Christian must know.

Adoration - praising God
Contrition - Asking for God's forgiveness
Petition - Asking God for favor
Thanksgiving - Showing God gratitude.

The Lord's prayer is also called the model prayer.

We are going to learn different methods of simple prayer that Jesus taught us to pray.

PRAY method.

P - praise
Start your prayers by first praising the Lord. Exalt Him,  adore Him for who He is and his greatness. Matthew 6 verse 9

R - repentance
After praising God for who He is,  you must then repent of your sins by confessing  to God for any mistake or sin in your life which hinders your prayer.
Matthew 6 verse 13

A - ask
Now is the time to ask God for a favor,  also petitioning the Lord,  praying for your friends and family and everyone you want to pray for.
Matthew 6 verse 11

Y - yield
It is time to commit yourself to the Lord,  you're anticipating from the Lord. Given your worries, work,  family, life,  to the Lord for protection.
Matthew 6 verse 13.

This is exactly how God expect His children to pray to Him.
Praying not only for ourselves but for our friends, family and even your enemies and forgiven them too.

Learn this simple method of prayer and the Lord will bless you.
