Prayer is the intimate communication that one has with the holy God of the universe whom we have, through faith, received as our Heavenly Father. Prayer is not something that we do to make

others see us. We don’t perform to demonstrate how pious and holy that we are. Sometimes we felt the Lord didn’t listen to our prayers. We doubted whether we have been abandoned by the Lord.

We questioned ourselves why doesn’t the Lord listen to our prayer? We must learn first how should we pray so that the Lord will listen. I’ll share three ways to practice, hoping they’ll be

helpful for you. * First, worship God with heart and honesty, speak to Him the true words in our hearts. * Second, stand in the place as a creation of God, make no demands of Him, and have a

submissive heart as we pray. * Third, since there isn’t the work of the Holy Spirit in the church, we must seek and pray. There are many online platforms where you can submit prayer

requests also. I know a good and genuine place where the prayer warriors really pray for people. The Salvation Garden is the most reliable and sincere international prayer organization in

Jerusalem. They virtually open the gates to you and Christians around the world, giving you direct access to the holy sites in Jerusalem. You can submit urgent prayer requests online on

their website and have them hand-delivered to your chosen site of worship in the Holy Land. WHAT IS A GENUINE PRAYER? Jesus begins His talk on prayer by showing them that a genuine prayer

life begins in private. He isn’t saying anything against public prayers themselves but rather those public prayers that are given by people just to show how holy they are. Genuine prayer

begins with a proper heart toward God. Genuine Prayer Begins in Private: “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the street corners so that

they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and

your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.” (6:5–6). As long as we live, seek a time where we can privately and meaningfully praise Him, submit to His will, request our

needs to Him, and confess our sins that we may have done that has hurt the relationship that we have with our Lord. _Originally published at __https://thesalvationgarden.blogspot.com__ on
