The word for today is - Prayer !

Good morning,
The word for today is - Prayer !
 
The word of God says, for us to be more like Him. So let us start with prayer, Jesus spent a lot of time praying. He often went to a solitary place and prayed for hours at a time, especially at difficult times in His ministry . The famous Lord's Prayer is Jesus' model of the perfect prayer. Perhaps the best place in the Bible to begin a study on prayer is when the disciples asked Jesus how they should pray. In two of the Gospel accounts (Matthew and Luke), the disciples are recorded as asking Jesus to teach them how to pray. Jesus responds by offering a model prayer, which is recorded in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. Many people believe answered prayer is God granting a prayer request  that is offered to Him. If a prayer request is not granted, it is understood as an “unanswered” prayer. However, this is an incorrect understanding of prayer. God answers every prayer that is lifted to Him. Sometimes, God may answer “yes, no” or “wait.” God only promises to grant our prayers when we ask according to His will, not your will, Amen! Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
