The key to a great relationship with God is prayer, and we all need to

deepen our prayer life. Prayer should be upward to God, inward with

confession and repentance and then outward as we pray for others. In Romans

8 we learn that when we can't pray the right way, the Holy Spirit will pray

for us, through us and on our behalf. Also, all of our prayers should be in

the Name of Jesus Christ. This is so much more than just tagging His name

on the end of our prayers, but rather it is coming to God based upon the

merits of Jesus’s relationship with His Father instead of based on our own

merits or good works.
