POINTS OF WHAT I LEARNT.
I understood that prayer is not something simply done because the Lord Jesus has a discipline on how we should pray, therefore we should follow the doctrine of Christ whenever we want to pray. Prayer is not a narrative neither a story telling but prayer is making a request or petition from God. For example when the eleven apostles were selection a replacement to complete the twelve disciples,they prayed and asked only what they need at that particular morment because repeation of prayer is prohibited by God. Making known our request should be coupled with thanksgiving because according to the doctrine of Christ when we ask,we should believe that our request is granted. We should away pray with confidence.
It is commandment of God that every christain should pray and not to pass the obligation to others. Prayer is asking from God and not praying repetitively. We should always pray whether in difficult or in comfort morment because God does not forsake those who pray and believe in him.
A lot of people only pray on their birthday or when they are sick or when I difficult situation but when they are healthy and comfortable, calling on God become a history.
As christains we should give thanks to God upon waking up even before we eat,we should give thanks to God.
According to the bible,we should pray day and night meaning non stop. We should pray without ceasing because we do not know what may happen at any time. Praying day and night will save us from lots of trouble. A prayer should be simple.
For our prayer to acceptable before God,we should purify our heart and tongue because if we are calling on God and our heart is filthy, God will not listen to us. If the one praying is wicked,it is impossible that God will listen to such Prayer. God is pleased when an upright person is praying, the ear of God is always open to the righteous. It is necessary that our heart is void of offence toward God and our fellow men. When we repent from our evil ways and call upon God,he will answer us.
For God to listen to our prayer,we need to obey God first and allow the word of God to purify us. The purification of our heart is in obedience to the word of God. We should depart from all forms of iniquity so that God can listen to us when we pray.
FORMAL BELIEF.
I have no contrary belief.
HOW DOES THE STUDY AFFECT ME.
The study has taught me that God has a discipline when it comes to prayer and for my prayer to answered,I have to depart from allow wickedness.
Thanks be to God.
