A Right Attitude Towards Prayer

Prayer has been called 'the breath of the soul' and expresses the very essence of faith in our Heavenly Father. Prayer is the fruit of a humble and helpless heart that comes before the Lord in loving trust.
The closer one grows to the Lord in prayer and praise, the more we rely on our prayerful communion with Him to supply all our needs, according to His riches in glory. The closer we draw to our God, the more we value the petitions and prayers that are offered, by others, on our behalf.
May we develop a right attitude towards prayer, and a purpose in our praying, which is in accordance with God's perfect will.
Brothers and sisters, pray for us.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift and privilege of prayer. Thank You that we have confidence to come to You in prayer, not only for ourselves but also for others. We praise You that You hear and answer our every cry. Increase our desire to commune with You in prayer, and may we be so submitted to Your will, that Your Holy Spirit prompts the prayers we utter to be in accordance with Your perfect plan and for Your greater glory. This we ask in Jesus' name AMEN.
