Principles of Prayer - Part 2

Aug 9, 2024

Does how we pray matter to God?

In Part 1 we discussed these 2 principles: the importance of approaching God with humility, and praying with the right motive.

Today we discuss the value of persistence in our prayer life. In Luke 18:1, it says we should not lose heart and give up.

Though Jesus gives us no real explanation, it does appear that persistence is important for several reasons, one being that it indicates the priority of the heart. It shows a real intent and purpose.

We also discuss the final principle, which is asking God for wisdom, praying with faith that He will give it to you.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.” - James 1:5-7
