LIVE WELL

Praying well requires . . .

1. TIME ALONE WITH GODMatthew 6:6--"But when you pray, go into your

room, close the door and pray to your

Father, who is unseen. Then your Father,

who sees what is done in secret, will

reward you."

Praying well requires . . .

2. UNHURRIED TIME

Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

"Be still, and know that I

am God; I will be exalted

among the nations, I will

be exalted in the earth."

Psalm 23:3a (NIV)

“He makes me lie down

in green pastures"

The Lord is calling

you to UNHURRIED

time with Him.

EM Bounds

“Short devotions are the

bane of deep piety.

Calmness, grasp,

strength, are never the

companions of hurry.”

MY PRAYER COMMITMENT

“And in the morning, a great while before day, He rose and went

out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.” Mark 1:35

“In these days He went out into the hills to pray; and all

night He continued in prayer to God.” Luke 6:12

I resolve, by the help of God, to set aside at least twenty

minutes every day to spend alone in God’s presence.

3. MORE THAN DUTY

IF ALL WE KNOW IS

PRAYER AS DUTY.

WE ARE IN A

SORRY PLACE.

Augustine, about 400AD

"For Thou hast made us

for Thyself; and our

hearts are restless,

till they find their

rest in Thee."

EM Bounds

“It is only by prayer that God

can help people. He who

does not pray robs himself

of God’s help and places

God where He cannot help."

To pray well . . .

4. PRAY IN THE NAME

OF JESUS

John 14:13-14

"And I will do whatever you

ask in my name, so that the

Son may bring glory to the

Father. You may ask me for

anything in my name,

and I will do it."

PRAYING IN THE NAME OF JESUS

right to enter God's presence.

confidence to enter the Most Holy

Place by the blood of Jesus, by a

for us through the curtain,

that is, his body"
