DAILY PRAYER TOPICS

Prayer is vital to the spiritual life of Christians. It is one of the five tools of Christian growth. Yet this tool is under-utilized and greatly misapplied. Many profess to be Christian and never pray. Others say their prayers go unanswered. Here are the keys to dynamic prayer!

Christians pray. Prayer is talking to God. Do you know how to talk to God?

God is your Father. As His child, you must speak, talk—pray—to Him. This is far more important than you may realize. You need to know—and you can! Here are the steps—the KEYS—to truly effective prayer.

Conditions To Answered Prayer

The Bible is filled with accounts of answered prayers.

Moses pleaded with God to change His mind and not destroy rebellious, carnal-minded Israel (Num. 14:11-19). Hannah, who was barren, implored God to give her a child of her own (I Sam. 1:5-11). David beseeched God to forgive him for committing horrendous sins (Psa. 51). And before He was taken to be crucified, Jesus asked God to protect His disciples (John 17:6-11).

God answered their prayers. He will also answer yours.

But there are conditions. You must approach God HIS way, not your own. You need to know how to pray—when—how often—where—and what to pray for. The answers are in God’s Word.

Let’s look at the conditions to answered prayer. The following is not an exhaustive list. Other conditions will be covered or expanded upon later.
