DOES THE BIBLE TEACH A “RIGHT WAY” TO PRAY?
Nehemiah 1:4-11: "For days I mourned, fasted and prayed to the God of heaven." --- Throughout the Bible effective prayer includes elements of adoration, confession and commitment, as well as requests. Matthew 6:5-13: "Pray like this" --- Yeshua taught His disciples that prayer is an intimate relationship with the Father that includes a dependency for daily needs, commitment to obedience and forgiveness of sin. Luke 18:1-8: "One day Jesus told His disciples a story to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must never give up." --- Prayer is to be consistent and persistent. Nehemiah 2:4: "With a prayer to the God of heaven." --- Prayer can be spontaneous.

Maybe I need to add here that part of the prayer Yeshua taught the disciples "Our Father..." can be dangerous when the believer does not understand it right. And this is not what Father mean for us, it is us human that forgot the meaning. Let me give one example: "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others that sin against us". Wow, what is said here give me Goosebumps --- We ask Father to forgive us as we forgive? Ask yourself, can you forgive the thief that steals from you? The murderer that took your loved one away? People that talk bad about you and persecute you? It is a hard one and many say they can forgive but not forget? Did Father not promise to forgive and forget, a new beginning ? Sorry, I don't want to get too deep and offend anyone, Each of us has our own will, and must give account for our own actions. I respect and love all of you.
