Prayer

We are called to renew our minds so that we don’t conform to the patter of the world Romans 12:2

And the only way to renew our minds is to do what we can to draw closer to God then James 4:8 says he’ll draw closer to me 

I have come up with 4 ways to draw closer to God, in nor particular order:

• Read His Word
• Love & Serve Others
• Serve God
• Pray

Prayer is how we let God into our lives, and how we give our cares and worries over to Him.  Think about it from the most basic of actions… Simply stating what needs to be stated.  Getting something off your chest.  You could be a skeptic and say that the whole prayer thing is just a “religious” practice, but has no real merit. Ok… why don’t you voice your cares and concerns out loud for a few days, and see if you don’t feel a little better.   Then, maybe you’ll start to understand that when I give my cares and concerns to God, full belief knowing he cares for me 1 Peter 5:7, then I will have a peace that only God can provide through Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7

What does the bible say about Prayer?
