The Lord longs for us to be close to Him, just as a loving father enjoys spending time with his children.
When we need the Word of God, He speaks to us: He leads us, teaches us & shows us His purpose & will for our lives.
Just like in any other conversation, there are moments when we also need to speak; & we speak to God through prayer.
The Lord never taught His disciples how to preach, but He did takes the time to teach them how to pray.
*Matthew 6:9
This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name'".
He gave them clear instructions about how to pray so that their prayers would be effective.
If you are a disciple of Christ, it is important that you learn how to communicate with God.
Start by praying joyfully with thanksgiving.
*Psalms 100:2,4
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
Nothing is able to cause greater joy in our hearts than being in the presence of our God.
Our attitude determines the success we have in prayer.
It is important that we are always joyful so that we can persevere in prayer.
A thankful heart is one that knows how to recognize the work of God in every aspect of life.
The gates that lead us into His presence are called "thankfulness".
Think about all the things for which you can thank God.
It helped us to go on to identify many other things for which we could be thankful to God.
Gratitude should flow out of our hearts at all times, in both good & bad situations, because we know that everything that happens to us works together for our good.
*1 Thessalonians 5:18
Before starting Life Class:
Faithfulness to God
Simple things in life
Beauty in nature
We barely freely
Whole & perfect body
After starting Life Class:
Spiritual breakthrough
Increase love & grace
Increase strength from God
Provision
Humility
These are the things God has done for me & He had done & before that, for which I can be thankful.
Decide to write down things for which we are thankful before going to sleep, especially the things that have happened during the day.
Thank God for everything.
REMEMBER:
GRATITUDE IS THE KEY THAT OPENS THE DOORS SO THAT WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH GOD.
