The Lord wants you to grow spiritually in faith in him, and not lean on your own understanding or someone else’s faith. But have your own faith in him and his Word. Here are some good verses that you can claim and even quote them to Jesus when you pray. “As thou hast believed , so be it done unto thee.”(Matthew 8:13). “Jesus saith unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” (Mark 9:23). “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”(Luke 1:37). “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”(James 1:1-6). Don’t doubt and be double minded with your prayers if you want God to answer them. “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”(Mark 11:23), Don’t doubt in your heart. “ verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”(Matthew 17:20). The purpose of this class is to help give you some basic lessons about prayer. For those who already know all of this information. I hope this will be an inspiring review. I know it is for me. Sometimes time and circumstances just wont allow you to follow all of these important points, but when you do make time for the Lord to pray, its good to remember this class and follow it as best as you can. Remember to “Pray without ceasing.” (I Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer is something you can always be doing no matter what else you are doing. Also don’t forget to listen to the Lord. “Be still and know that I am God.”( Psalm 46:10a). The Lord often speaks in a still small voice You’ve spoken your peace, let God speak his, and let him speak first. “And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire; a still small voice.” ( I Kings 19:12). “ And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”. ( Isaiah 30:21). It helps to get quiet and listen to hear the still small voice of God.Finally don’t forget to pray in the name of Jesus. There is wonder working power in his name. “whatsoever ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16 b). “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that will I do, that the father may be glorified in the son. If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13,14 ). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me.” (John 14:6 ). “ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5). “ I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”(John 10:9). Since Jesus is the door of the Trinnity consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, we can pray directly to Jesus who is our High Priest. Praying straight to Jesus is praying to God and the Holy Ghost too at the same time.

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
