HOW TO PRAY

Good evening, this is HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

But for the rest of our time this morning, I want to talk about the how of prayer. I want to try to inspire you with practical, biblical possibilities that you may have never considered, or perhaps tried and then failed to persevere — failed to “be devoted to prayer.”

This is my effort to sketch what it means to be devoted to prayer without a narrow my-way-or-the-highway mentality. We are all very different. Our schedules are different. Our families are different. We are in different stages of life with different demands on our days. We are at different levels of spiritual maturity, and no one matures overnight. What you may be doing in five years in your devotion to prayer may make you look back and wonder how you survived this season of leanness. But all of us can move forward.

Paul loves to write to his churches and say, “You are doing well, but do so more and more” (Philippians 1:9; 1 Thessalonians 4:1 and verse 10). And if there is any place where the “do so more and more” applies, it is in our devotion to prayer.
