Lord, Teach Me to Pray- Intro
Proverbs 15:8 says, "the prayer of the upright if His delight."
when we go to God in prayer. And not just access, but unlimited divine resources- more than enough for our needs- freely available from a loving heavenly Father.
He longs to have us with Him, telling Him all the issues of our hearts, casting all our cares on Him because He cares for us.
Psalm 61:1-2 says, "Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed."
A call to the duty of prayer will not overcome spiritual indifference, because prayer is an internal compulsion born out of a love for and dependence on our heavenly Father. Lack of prayer doesn't mean merely that we are disobedient; it is also an indicator that our love for God has grown cold.
"Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you and you shall glorify Me." (Ps.50:15)
Let the truth of Scripture shape your thinking and feed your appetites and then you will know how to pray according to the will of God
