PRAYERparation: How to Pray
PRAISE...worshiping God for Who He is
For Salvation/John 3:16
Who led you to Christ? Have you ever thanked them?
Have you recently thanked God for saving you?
What does it mean to stay close to the foot of the cross? Is your salvation experience still fresh and real? Have you strayed...how...why?
MEDITATION..focusing your attention on what God has said
Witnessing/Matthew 28:19-20
How does God view lost people? What does the saying, God loves the sinner, but hates sin, mean?
Is sin really all that bad? Why? What price was God willing to pay for sin and salvation?
What are you told to do in regards to lost people. How should you do it. Are you faithful? What price are you willing to pay?
THANKSGIVING...worshiping God for what He has done
That God would use me/1 Corinthians 9:16-27
Are you grateful or fearful that God would use you? If fearful, why?
Are you usable? Is your life holy and pure?
Are you available? Can God depend on you to help Him save lost people? If not, why not.
What excuses do you use to not witness to other people? Is it good enough to watch a person die and go to Hell?
INTERCESSION...praying for the needs of others
Lost people I know...Mark 1:29-39; John 12:19; Matthew 11:28; James 2:14-17
How did Jesus attract lost people according to these Scripture references?
Who do I know that is lost...family, friends, students, work associates, salesperson, neighbor, etc.? Make a list.
What can I do to attract each one of these people to Christ.
Is my life a positive witness of what it means to be a Christian...or is my life a negative witness and keeps them from seeing Christ? How?
PETITION...praying for needs in my own life
Help me to be a faithful witness...
Help me not to whine and complain...be negative...gossip or speak bad of people and the church.
Help me to be strong in faith.
Help me to study the Bible and pray daily.
CONFESSION...agreeing with God about my life, attitudes and behavior...this includes positive confessions of faith
Any sin in my life...1 John 1:9
Sins against God or people. Sins of action or attitude. Sins of commission (things I did) or omission (things I should have done, but didn't).
What positive confessions of change, faith, commitment or action do you need to make in order to be what God wants you to be...and do what God wants you to do?
