How We Pray

If our prayers are common and mundane, perhaps we are out of practice. Prayer should be our first immediate response to every need. Our Savior prayed "fervently".
Hebrews 5:7  Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared.
Do you sense the fervency, the intensity in this verse? It's no wonder that after hearing Jesus pray, His disciples asked, "Lord teach us to pray."
When we pray, do we realize who we are speaking to? This sacred God created heaven and earth, parted the Red Sea, and shut the Lions' mouth. This God was the fourth man in the fire, protecting the three Hebrew children. This God sent his beloved Son to redeem us. Worship Him in prayer.
