PRAYER

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. – James 5:16

God has designed prayer to be our means to communicate with him, spirit to spirit. And if we pray according to his will, he will hear us.

SCRIPTURES

In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
