1. Attitude: Come boldly before the throne <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us then approach God\u2019s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to what Jesus Christ did on the cross we can come boldly before the throne of God. This means we can stand firm on God\u2019s promise that he meets us in our prayer time. Even Jesus himself tells us to pray and ask for the things we want and need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d Matthew 7:7-9<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bible tells us that it\u2019s God\u2019s will for us to pray<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Pray for direction and wisdom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask God how you should pray for a particular issue or person. Also, listen to the Holy Spirit for guidance on the specific things you want to pray for. What exactly should you pray for and how? Here\u2019s an example: Maybe a friend of yours approaches you and asks you to pray for healing. Ask God for more instructions on what you should focus your prayers on. Maybe besides healing the Holy Spirit leads you to pray for hope, trust and wisdom during this person\u2019s season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Have a list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe it\u2019s just me but I love having lists. \ud83d\ude42 It gives me a feeling of being on top of everything. Therefore, having my concern written down, I\u2019m sure to pray for every person and issue concerning my life and the lives of those around me. I highly encourage you to write down different topics or persons, too. Beneath these topics, name the situations and requests you\u2019re praying for. Then take out the list once a day <\/a>or once a week to pray over all these concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Be persistent<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You may have heard about the story in Luke 18:1-8 that Jesus told his disciples. It\u2019s about a widow that kept going to the local judge to plead for justice. She didn\u2019t give up asking and thus the judge granted her justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This story always encourages me to keep on praying, keep on asking and knocking at God\u2019s door. I highly encourage you to read it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Give thanks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank God<\/a> for the person or the issue you\u2019re praying for. Also, give thanks<\/a> for the things your praying for as if you\u2019ve already received them. I know this takes faith, but faith is the substance our walk with God is built on, isn\u2019t it? It helps getting into an attitude of trust, hope and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Pray for Gods\u2019 will to happen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, \u201cMy Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.\u201d Matthew 26:39<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes prayers don\u2019t get answered the way we want them to. Even Jesus didn\u2019t want to go through with God\u2019s plan but he kept the right attitude and prayed for God\u2019s will to be done. In his case, it was absolutely necessary because God\u2019s will was 100% beneficial for the whole world. Many times, the Lord doesn\u2019t answer a prayer because he has something even better in store for us. At other times, things happen that we can\u2019t find an explanation for. These are the moments where we need to trust God completely and surrender everything to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Give it completely to God <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, this is a tough one, but sometimes it\u2019s necessary to just let something sit with God<\/a> and wait. There are things to pray about that we can get so caught up with that we make it our idol. We want it to happen so badly that our focus shifts more and more away from God and onto our problem. When this happens, I highly encourage you to give it 100% to God<\/a>. I know this isn\u2019t easy but with God’s help you can do it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope these suggestions help you to connect deeper with God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Follow me on Instagram<\/a> for daily encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2b50\ufe0f Do you need more trust in God?
