| 1 | How do we have a good prayer life? | Luke 2:37 | justme | 59465 | ||
| Why is prayer such a difficult thing for Christians? I have been reading SECRETTS OF FAITH WELL LIVED, by Christopher Coppernoll. In the book Coppernoll interviews 14 different authors. Like Max Lucado, Brennan Manning, Steve Brown, and others well known. Every one spoke of how little Christians pray. Interesting was how many pastors admitted to having such a problem with their prayer life. With so much effort as we put into this Forum, do we have a full prayer life? I an searching for someone who has a prayer life that can tell me how they go about their prayer life that makes them feel effective. Thank you for who ever answers. agape, justme |

| 2 | How do we have a good prayer life? | Luke 2:37 | Cyclist | 59466 | ||
| Greetings justme! All praise and glory and honor be to God our Father, and, to our Lord Jesus Christ who gave His own life for our Sins. Praise the Lord! Hope all is well with you. I like your question and I wanted to share with you how I pray. Now I'm sure you know me by now justme, that I am not one who has spent any time reading books or Bibles with commentary by theologans or philosiphers or any other for that matter, not that I shouldn't be, I just haven't. In fact, other than reading that is nessesary for my job, I have read only the KJV and The Living Bible all of my Christian life. I've just now started to read a "Study Bible" that provides commentary on some scripture. I write all of that to point out that I am definately not an expert. Now let me stop wasting space and time and answer your question with my own opinion and experience. I am either praising or praying to my God the day long. Just like the widow in Luke 2:37, I pray continually, about everything in my life. It is important to me, as Paul writes in 2 Cor 10:5, that every thought be brought under the obdience of Christ. You see, I believe, and ask, the Father's guidence in every single situation or event in every single day, and yes, I do have to ask forgiveness sometimes. Who else could be a better guide than the Father. To me, my opinion only, this is prayer, and, I never stop! I also added the Merriam-Webster definition of "pray". Sorry for the long post. Your brother in Christ, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! Luke 2:36 And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years and had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, Luke 2:37 and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers. "Marriam - Webster" Main Entry: pray Pronunciation: 'prA Function: verb Etymology: Middle English, from Old French preier, from Latin precari, from prec-, prex request, prayer; akin to Old High German frAgEn to ask, Sanskrit prcchati he asks Date: 13th century transitive senses 1 : ENTREAT, IMPLORE -- often used as a function word in introducing a question, request, or plea (pray be careful) 2 : to get or bring by praying intransitive senses 1 : to make a request in a humble manner 2 : to address God or a god with adoration, confession, supplication, or thanksgiving |
