Prayer

What is prayer?

It is essentially giving your attention to God. Anyone can pray, at any time and any place. Prayer is just like having a conversation with a friend or family member, except you are talking and listening to God.

How to pray?

Prayer brings us in touch with God and others and Christians pray in the name of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

There are many ways to pray;

Use words – think or speak or sing them
Say ‘Amen’ to someone else’s prayer
Give our feelings to God
Do something prayerful – light a candle or visit a church or with your friends
Be quiet with God – on your own or with other people
Listen to and or meditate on Christian worship music, there are lots of videos available on the Lightwave You Tube Channel

In the Bible Jesus teaches us to pray The Lord's Prayer. It's a good example of how to pray and an acknowledgment of who God is, inviting Him to be with us on earth, keep us safe, away from trouble and give us food to eat.

Our Father,who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come;

thy will be done;

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power, and the glory

for ever and ever.

Amen.
