Hebrews 5:7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear

How hard do you pray? Are you serious about your prayers? Do you realise just who you are praying to?

Questions like these should be asked by us as we start our walk with God and the answers should stick with us throughout our life with Him.

God is awesome. God is amazing. God is listening. Don’t ever forget who we speak to in prayer. Don’t ever forget He has called us to be His children and as such we should cry out to Him just as we do to our parents!

Psalm 55:17 Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

Right from the earliest times people have realised how important prayers are and how important it is to pray regularly.

This does not mean we need to set our clocks by our prayers times or to pray just because we need to.

God wants to have a personal relationship with us, which means being consistent and willing to talk to Him.

Pray from your heart and let God know your heart!

Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

What sort of example do you think you are setting with your prayer life? Do people know you pray? Do you offer prayer for others? Do you pray for other people?

God does not wish us to be selfish in our prayers but to pray for others always. Giving thanks to God for the prayers He has heard and answered is of paramount importance as well.

Just as we should thank people for what they do for us, we must always thank God for everything He is doing for us in our lives.
