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

• Prayer must come from an obedient heart.
