When we become children of God, it is important to talk to God in prayer everyday. Some of the key things to include are:
1. Thanksgiving (thanking God for whom He is, answered prayers, etc.);
2. Praying for others; and
3. Your own requests.
Can you think of other areas that need to be included? When is it the best time for you to spend time in prayer? Mine is usually in the morning before I do anything else. |

I usually spend the most time in prayer at night as I reflect on the day's events.

What a great idea to say the "Lord's Prayer" again, Stogus! Thanks for the reminder. 
Any more ideas? This is good. |

How abbooout silence and letting God talk to you. We seem to be more concerned about what we want to say to Him then to listening to what he wants to say to us. |

We need God to cleanse us from our sins each day so we can continue to be humble learners of His Word as we grow to know Him better. And we need to quiet ourselves so we are in a position to listen to Him.
One of my favorite verses which speaks clearly to me: Be still, and know the I am God; . . .
Ps. 46:10a | |
