Romans 12:12

We figure, “God already knows all of this.”

Matthew 6:8 - This is true. God is omniscient.

God tells us to.

It’s not about the giving of information, but about the giving of our heart. Prayer is a sincere expression of our love and need for Him. Matthew 6:6-8

We get tired of praying for the same old thing.

Ephesians 6:18-20 - Better awareness of what we can pray for and what we really need can help us pray sincerely.

Philippians 1:3-5 - Like Paul, we have many people to be thankful for.

Things we can include in our prayers:

Adoration (praise) - Matthew 6:9

Confession - Luke 18:13

Thanks - Colossians 4:2

Supplication (petition) - I Timothy 2:1-2

Luke 18:1-8 - Don’t lose heart. Keep praying!
