WHAT IS PRAYER?
2 Chronicles 7:14: "Then if My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven." --- Prayer is an act of humble worship in which we seek YHVH with all our heart. Psalm 38:15-18: "I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done." 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong." --- Prayer often begins with a confession of sin. 1 Samuel 14:36-45: "The priest said, 'Let’s ask God first.'” 2 Samuel 5:17-19: "David asked the Lord, 'Should I go out to fight the Philistines?'” --- Prayer is asking YHVH for guidance and waiting for His direction and leading. Mark 1:35: "The next morning Jesus awoke long before daybreak and went out alone into the wilderness to pray." --- Prayer is an expression of an intimate relationship with our heavenly Father, who makes His own love and resources available to us. Psalm 9:1-2: "I will thank You, Lord, with all my heart... I will sing praises to Your Name, O Most High." --- Through prayer we praise our Mighty Creator.
