Pray with Understanding

1 Cor 14:15

What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

Colossians 4:2-6

Speaking to God and Others CSB

2 Devote yourselves to prayer; stay alert in it with thanksgiving. 3 At the same time, pray also for us that God may open a door to us for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains, 4 so that I may make it known as I should. 5 Act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of the time. 6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.

Prayer works!

But, Christians stop praying when they think their prayers go unanswered. Learn what prayer is, how to do it, and its use in this lesson! The Audio and Outline PDF are from Justin Johnson at Grace Ambassadors. This is an area of understanding I need also the value of Prayer.

Prayer Principles

~ Praying is God’s will.
~ Prayer reflects your attitude towards God.
~ Prayer should not try to move God away from his will.
~ Prayer moves you to the place where God is working.
~ Prayer prepares you to receive what God has provided.
~ We pray not because of what God can do for us, but because of who he is to us.
~ We pray not because he will fulfill our requests, but because he can exceed them.
~ Pray to God as your father; pray as he knows your thoughts; pray as he saved your life
