Prayer is the most powerful gift God has given to his children. The importance of praying cannot be put into words. It is a direct line to reach our Heavenly Father, it grows our relationship with our Lord. Use to bring Him any needs, concerns, or wants, we can take anything to God. Our Father wants to hear from us, he wants us to come to Him. Just as an infant cries for its mother and she comes at the first cry so does our Lord. The King of all Kings is waiting for you to come to Him, He has always been and will always be waiting to hear from YOU! Pray for health, pray for protection, pray for financial blessing, pray for love, pray for guidance, pray for the Holy Spirit to overcome you, pray for your children, pray for all of God's children. There is nothing too big or too small that you cannot bring to our Heavenly Father. God is waiting for you!

Matthew 6: 5-15
5 And when you pray do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. 9 This, then, is how you should pray

“ Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today or daily bread. 12 Forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
