"Prayer Life Is Not Developed Overnight ..."
Luke 11:1
New International Version
11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
A successful prayer life is not developed overnight nor can it be copied from someone else. God has a personal plan for each of us. We cannot always do what someone else is doing and expect it to work for us.
Our prayer life is progressive—it progresses as we progress. Often our prayers are too vague, meaning they are not clearly expressed. When we pray, we can be clear and honest with the Lord.
The Bible teaches that we can pray boldly, expectantly, specifically. Your heavenly Father loves you, so you can come fearlessly, confidently, and boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
If you need help with your prayer life, be honest with God. Tell Him your needs. He will help you if you ask Him to do so. Like the disciples, simply ask, “Lord, teach me to pray.”
An essential key to prayer is more confidence in the name of Jesus and less confidence in ourselves or anyone else to solve our problems.
There is power in the name of Jesus.
