How to Pray: Prayer with R.C. Sproul 

Thank you so much! ❤

😊

Excellent teaching. Praise the Lord! This comes from the preacher life, and therefore, has power

Thank you for sharing this. What a great, godly teacher R.C Sproul is.

I Really really wish there was more about how to actually pray. I feel lost..

You might like to ask God's assistance that : 1. You discipline your body as written in Corinthians 9:27, NKJV: 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, 2. To bring all your thoughts in captivity to the obedience of Christ as written in 2 Corinthians 10:5, KJV: 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself AGAINST the knowledge of God, and BRINGING into captivity EVERY THOUGHT to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 3. And ask God to reveal to you as written in Psalm 139:23-24, KJV 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 4. That you always abide in the Lord and His Word abides in you as written in John 157, NKJV: 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, and all these in full obedience for the glory of God evey moment of every day till my last breath. Many blessings to you. Note: I used this myself and it has been very helpful.

I tell you the truth bro, you alone can pray your way to God. One of the easiest ways you can work firmly with God is through prayer. Prayer does not have to be long but I have realised that the more I pray, the closer I get with God and the farther I get from lusts. Prayer truly changes things

Also, realize that one of greatest keys to an effective prayer life is consistency. My pastor always says that a consistent prayer warrior does not fall even if he is praying wrongly. I really hope this helps.

Praying for you in Uvalde, Texas. Come and bless, dear Great Physician🙏.

A simple approach is spend time with Jesus daily in the Gospels. 1 chapter a day rinse and repeat as God guides you. This has improved my walk significantly.

Yes, please!🙏

Now, I pray that God’s will is to clothe and envelope, those who have suffered slavery, infamies and illnesses in this lifetime, with His love and compassion and that He reward them with an eternal abode in His house of many mansions. I would be eternally grateful for my own family, whom He blessed in this life, to be allowed a glimpse and a tiny corner in the lowest ranks of His kingdom.

Wow .Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia Amen

I have uttered “woe is me” many times. We’re all sanctifying works in progress. Encouragement & 5 Solas from Buffalo, NY to South Africa. 🇺🇸🙏

She was a monster. Read about Mother Theresa! Christ changes people.

You should look at what Martin Luther taught on how we are to pray. It’s very good!

He’s dancing around the throne of God worshipping our precious Savior for all eternity 🥳 PTL

Wow!

o wow! o o wow!

Because his help comes from the Lord.

God continue to bless him!

Dear Andrew. This is exactly right. This is the instruction from our Teacher, JESUS. Next step is to understand the prayer so we can know how it relates to JESUS' FATHER as "Our FATHER " , the rest of the scriptures and our lives.

It actually stops at deliver us from evil. The last part was added later but not how Jesus taught the disciples. It was changed only in the Protestant Bibles

Often many people think prayers to God mean begging God continuously. And usually the prayers are prayers of problems, not results expected, in great agitation of mind and spirit. It is written in Isaiah 43:26, KJV: Put Me in REMEMBRANCE; let US plead together; DECLARE thou, that thou mayest be justified. When facing a problem, let's identify the results expected then look for promises of God that promised us God's will in this matter ( write down the verse(s) ), and put God in remembrance of such promise(s) then state what we ask in Jesus' Name. And before we start asking let's see if there is anyone we hold grievances against because the Lord said in Mark 11:25, NKJV: 25. And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against any ( including ourselves ): that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Lord Jesus also said in Mark 11:23, KJV: 23 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. So cast out our mountain ( problem ) in Jesus' Name, then stand firm on His promises we believe as the Lord promised in John 14:13, KJV: 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Then while the problem still exists we continue glorifying, praising, and worshipping Heavenly Father that we BELIEVE we receive what we asked because the Lord also promised in Mark 11:24, NKJV: 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them for it is written in Hebrews 11:1, NKJV: 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Such is the magical elements of prayers as written in the Bible.

For a believer all prayer is answered. Sometimes the prayer request is granted and that makes us happy. Sometimes the prayer request is denied and that makes us sad. And sometimes the prayer request answer is delayed (which, to us, feels like it was denied). As an old guy, it’s been my experience, that a request is denied because there is something happening in the larger picture that we just can’t see though we may see it later (sometimes years later). With a request delayed, for me, it’s almost always because there was a lesson I needed to learn, or some maturing that I had to go through - and sometimes it’s delayed to get someone else properly positioned. But whatever the case, we just have to trust that God is good and that His will is what is ultimately best though it may not feel that way to us. I know, it’s easy to say “trust God” and much harder to do - but we must because God is good and He is not mean or vindictive - He truly does what is best. Maybe your prayers should include “God, help me to quickly recognize your answer.” Peace.

All prayers are answered - it's just that the human race needs to SEE now; needs to KNOW the answer themselves in this life; as well as honour and submit to God's plan, the Christian remnant of the human race needs more love for the others that benefit from our prayers.

​@@Psalm146-2well said! Bless you.

When Jesus was finished praying, the disciples came up to him and asked "Lord, teach us to pray." So my question to anyone who wants to answer, how exactly was Jesus praying for this response from the disciples???

@staceycastleburystacey6551 Jesus found that most religions depend on a leader and a place to pray. For example, a priest, rabi, imam, etc. The building would be a church or mosque, etc. Jesus taught how to pray like the disciple Thomas said: "Go into your closet and pray, God will hear you!" You don't need that leader!

The problem with what you said is that the Bible isn't one book but many and there is no particular order. Many people read the Bible entirely, many times. But understanding everything is not a prerequisite to be a teacher. The New Testament has the list of qualifications. Whatever you are saying, you are showing a gross ignorance about the new testament and the church.
