Dear Lord, prayer is needed if I am to know you, if I am to grow in understanding. Prayer is repenting of my sins and seeking forgiveness. Prayer is praising you, not just petitioning you for favours. ... Prayer is seeking your presence and your guidance daily in my life. Prayer is trusting that you know best. It is seeking to know your will for my life, and then being willing to be used by you. ... It is praying and interceding for those who are hurting or ill, or those who are confused and suffering from difficult situations. ... Prayer can make a difference, Lord; teach me how to pray.
In Your name I ask this.
Amen.
