Prayer

Sometimes the whole concept is hard to grasp: the holy, all powerful God actually wants us to talk to Him. It's called prayer. Although God knows what you will say even before you do, He still waits for you to enter His presence in prayer. No request is too large or too small to take before Him. God loves you and wants to answer your prayers.

1 Timothy 2:8 - I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Matthew 7:11 - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Prayer is in very deed the pulse of the Spiritual life. It is the great means of bringing to minister and people the blessing and power of heaven. Preserving and believing prayer means a strong and an abundant life.

Matthew 18:19-20 - Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Ephesians 6:18 - Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Job 33:26 - He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

Matthew 6:6-7 - But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
