How does the Bible teach us to pray?

 Prayer is our communication with God. Just as there are different ways to communicate with other people, there are also different ways to communicate with God. Some things are just between you and God, while other things are like a proclamation before both God, other people, and the spiritual world.

 

In the Bible, Jesus says that we do not have, because we have not asked Him nor have prayed to Him about it. God wants to give us all things, but it is only when we believe that we can receive it and thus ask for it, that we receive it.

 

Some prayer answers come immediately, while others come later. Our faith and perseverance in prayer are crucial for several reasons.

 

Sometimes prayer answers do not come because there are other spiritual forces that hinder our prayer answer. In those cases, we must simply continue to pray until we experience a breakthrough. Other times, it may be that we do not pray according to God's Word, but according to our own desire for happiness.

 

The greatest happiness we can experience here in this life is peace with God in our own hearts. The circumstances around us may change somewhat with the help of prayer, but there will still be injustice, unrest, hatred, and war in this world. The god of this world, the devil, does not want peace, and many people are still slaves to the god of the sin - the devil.

 

But praying for good solutions and progress in one's own life and work, God answers. Praying to God to be provided for one's daily needs, God answers. Praying to God to take away worries, He also answers. Even praying for healing on one's own body or on others' bodies, He answers. 

 

The Holy Spirit helps us to pray, just as He teaches us all things. In fact, through the Holy Spirit, God gives us depths of understanding and learning that we cannot learn otherwise. Through the Holy Spirit, God gives us secrets directly. To grow in your life with God, this is a topic you should study further. There won't be enough space for it here, but at WonByOne, you can get a start on teaching on this as well. Regardless, the Bible is the only true source of truth and life, so try to give yourself good habits of reading God's Word, the Bible, every day. It will give you power and strength every single day!
