Teach me how to pray

Teach me how to pray

For years that’s been my prayer (and I still pray it today). God has honored this and I’ve grown greatly in my times with the Lord. He shows me things I would never know, He leads me, strengthens me and blesses me deeply. My favorite time in prayer is when I say nothing and simply rest in His presence. He always builds me up during this time and often speaks great truths to my spirit.

Prayer is simply communion, it’s connection, it’s the place where your relationship with God is deepened. He reveals his good and kind nature and strengthens your faith. There are times He will lead you to pray for situations, circumstances, people you know and people you don’t… And it’s in these times that you pray as His Spirit leads you. This too is a powerful time as He directs you to speak peace in peoples lives and declare His word over different circumstances.

In this day and hour God is calling us to a deeper place of prayer. He’s calling us to pray for our pastors, our leaders, our government and of course the lost! He’s inviting us to pray with faith and passion. He’s calling us out of a spirit of fear and one of complaining into a spirit of confident expectation and one of praise! Will you watch and pray with the Father today? Will you declare His truth over the lies so many have come to believe? Will you speak to the mountains and tell them to be removed? Do you hear Him calling out to you today, “Will you stay and pray with me a while?”

I’m praying for you today! Will you join me in prayer for our Nation?

Blessings,

~John
