When Jesus gave the disciples an example of how to pray He said to begin like this, вЂњ Our Father who in heaven, hallowed be Your name.вЂќВ (Matthew 6:9) We must always remember who we are praying to. Our natural reaction should be to turn to God in prayer during these types of situations (Nehemiah 2:1-5). During our life there will be many times when we face temptations, difficulties or decisions. (Nehemiah 1:5-11, 1 Kings 8:22-53) We look at some of the principles on prayer below.Д®phesians 6:18 says, вЂњpray at all times in the SpiritвЂќВ and 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, вЂњpray without ceasing.вЂќВ While it is good to make a habit to pray before meals or before sleeping, prayer should not be limited to certain times. The Bible is full of teaching on prayer and also records the prayers of many believers to help us learn how to pray. Without it, we cannot hope to have success in other areas of life (John 15:5). From His example we know that no matter how hectic our life is we must set aside qualityВ time to pray. Luke 5:16 tells us, вЂњ Jesus Himself would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.вЂќ(Luke 6:12) JesusвЂ™ life was very busy and He was doing eternally important things, but He always made time to spend alone praying. Jesus Himself shows us the importance of prayer. Many of the strongest believers in the Bible prayed continually, talking with God as one would with a friend (Exodus 33:11). Prayer is the second way that a growing believer develops a strong personal relationship with God.
