"How To Pray"

P-R-A-Y
Praise God First

Recognizing God in our prayer as our Holy Father is how we glorify Him. I can think of many things to praise God for; His love; His forgiveness; my children; the way God has used me to minister to others; etc...

What is it that you could praise God for right now? I encourage you to call out and praise Him for those things when you bow your head in prayer today. You'll see the difference in your prayer life if you aren't already doing this when you pray. We often get so focused on our needs that we forget to offer to God what He desires from us in thankfully praising Him.

Isaiah 6:1-3
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
