There is a very simple method of Praying. You've head of the a b c of prayer, well here is the the "5" A's of Prayer.
First " A" affirm or acknowledge who God is, his person, his presents and his power.
Second "A" Admit.
Admit who we are before God; our weaknesses and frailty and pretense. We will not be filled with his presence untill we empty ourselves and come clean before him. Remember he already knows our hearts.
Third "A" Align.
Align yourself with God's will. Ask what is his will for your life. When the answer to your Prayer comes, what are your plans.
The truth is sometimes we are looking for his Power for the wrong reasons.Forintance someone is sick we pray for healing; they get their healing, then goes out to live for the devil. Let us draw close to God and he will draw close to us.
Fourth "A" Ask.
Ask what you need in the name of JESUS. Dont go in a round about way. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Speak from the heart; no reservations.
The Last "A" ACT.
Out of obedience to GOD.
Even when you Dont feel like it, because of obedience, you will do the right thing. The presence of GOD will guide into all truths.You may not get the answer when you want it, but be patient the answer is on the way.
Lots of Love and Blessings.
