Have you ever wondered sometimes, why should I even pray? Does it really accomplish anything? And sometimes when I did pray, my prayers never seemed to get answered. Also, maybe you were never really taught how to pray or know how to pray. So, it is just easier to not pray at all. Even worse, maybe you don’t think God will hear your prayers because you don’t act or think right all the time and struggle with sin. And what really is prayer?

We have all probably thought some of these things over our lives. If we are even wanting to try to live a biblical based life, we have had to confront these questions or issues. Jesus prayed a lot. He gave many examples on how to pray and the bible is full of ideas on praying. This message just sticks to the very basics of prayer. It is hoped it will give you a jump start if you have never prayed and will encourage you to continue in prayer if you are in the habit of praying.
