Question: How do you conduct a personal prayer exercise?

1) Since prayer is a way to know God, reading the Bible can help you know God. Therefore, the content of prayer should be ultimately measured in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Sooner or later, something will happen to those who only pray and don't read the Bible, because prayer leads you to the truth, but the truth leads you to prayer.

2) The most sophisticated people often pray out of a specific need. It is not wrong to start with a need, but it is not of much benefit to pray at the end of prayer or the fulfillment of things that does not set one free from the anxiety of need. Don't focus on things, but focus on God, if God has done something for you, the result should be more trust in God, more fear of God, and more freedom in God.

Therefore, prayer should be aimed at knowing God as the ultimate goal.

3) Prayer is not only a person pouring out his heart to God, but also God pouring out God's blessings and love to people, so in prayer we must gradually be sensitive and learn that God speaks to us through the Holy Spirit. The key to this learning is to let go of our hands and commit ourselves to the Lord to lead us according to what God sees best. Therefore, prayer should be premised on obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

4) There are many reasons why God hears our prayers, but here are a few things we need to keep in mind: God is a God who counts. So to grasp the Word of God is to grasp a contract that God speaks to the whole world through the Bible and the Holy Spirit, and to everyone himself.

These two ways of speaking are different. Many beginners fall into trouble because they don't know how to discern and don't want to consult experienced spiritual elders. What God says to you is the will of the things you ask.

However, in the beginning, this learning will go through some boring and difficult exploration.

When you pray to God, always know that you are in a state of clean hands and pure hearts. If not, settle your debt to God and man as much as possible. Bad intentions, anger, and a restless conscience are all great obstacles to prayer, and we should ask God to use God's Word and Spirit to cleanse us.

Lord Jesus. The blood is shed for us to cleanse us from filth.

Don't wait until something big happens. Prayer is like the accumulation of power and experience.

It is a drill that needs to be practiced every day and at any time. Prayer does not interfere with work or study, but rather helps you in your daily life. Therefore, in the various situations we encounter every day, we often learn to pray silently and ask for God's help and guidance.

You will discover the most incredible experience of your life, that the eternal God is always with you.

5) The following points can always be taken into account in the specific practice of prayer:

Pray always and do not lose heart.

Be humble and learn and ask experienced people.

Don't be afraid of mistakes and failures, but try to avoid repeating the same mistakes and failures over and over again.

To the Father. Pray that you will be cleansed by the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

Prayer should be urgent, not impetuous, or as if it were a duty. Prayer is useless if you can't settle down.
