Prayer

Today's chapel was about prayer. In Luke 11:1 the disciples say to Jesus "Lord teach us to pray" notice that they didn't ask Him how to pray. But said teach us to pray, they wanted to gain the habit of praying. The speaker talked about how God says in the Bible you didn't get because you didn't ask. There are some things that God wants us to ask for. Thus we need to ask him through prayer.

As Christians prayer is one of our most powerful tools. Having the ability through Christ to speak to Almighty God amazes me! Why is it that when we don't know what to do in some situations prayer is the last thing we try.

There is a passage in the Gospels where the disciples were unable to cast out a demon and Jesus went over and did it. Then they asked Him why they could not and Jesus said this kind only leaves through prayer which means they didn't even try praying before going to Jesus.

Prayer is such an important aspect of our relationship with God, not only presenting our thoughts to Him, but we also need to be listening for His. Therefore, today I encourage you to pray, and make it a habit.
