Effective Prayer!

 When we pray to GOD, we have a format that Jesus gave to us and it really works.

We need to open our prayer with asking GOD to hear us 

"Our FATHER who art in Heaven".  Then we need to give glory to GOD 

"Hallowed be THY name".  We then ask GOD for HIS will to be done rather than ours. 

"THY kingdom come, THY will be done on earth as it is in Heaven".

We move along from there, having given GOD our will and accepting that HIS will be done rather than ours.

Next comes 

"Give us this day our daily bread" accepting that all things come from GOD. 

And then comes the important thing.  

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."  

Unless we ask GOD to forgive us, we are not automatically forgiven and it is no good to ask GOD to forgive us and we are holding grudges.  So let go of your grudges and anger at this point of our prayers.

"Lead us not into temptation".  Probably the most important part of praying is to ask GOD and the Holy Spirit to protect us from ourselves and sinful natures.

"But deliver us from evil".  Really important asking GOD to help us in our earthly struggle against satan and his evil intentions.

And then we move back to GOD

"For THINE is the power and the glory," All glory to GOD

" foirever and ever."

"Amen"- so let it be.

So if you are struggling with your prayers, then just pray the "OUR FATHER".  It contains everything you need to make your prayers powerful and effective.  

Prayer:  Heavenly FATHER thank YOU for Jesus who taught us how to pray.  FATHER today hear my prayers. I humbly ask this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Stay truly GOD blessed today.
