Prayer is asking God for a favor. It is making a request to God to help us do what we cannot do for ourselves. The act of prayer is a great privilege to the christian. It is the beautiful opportunity we have to ask God to help us out of the problems of life.
There are many problems in the world. We should not be worried by the many problems. We should not allow those problems to bother us. We are encouraged to take those issues to God through prayers. When we are faced with these situations in life, we should tell it to God.
Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
When we are praying, we should believe that God is able to do the things that we are asking from Him. We should not doubt at all in our hearts. We should believe that the God which we are praying to is willing to hear our prayers and to answer us.
