    Let us pray!

    “Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not choose words in order to pray properly, the spirit himself expresses our plea in a way that could never be put into words, and God who knows everything in our hearts knows perfectly well what he means.” Romans 8:26-27 
 “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your father who is in secret, and your father who sees in secret will reward you” Matthew 6:6 
 “Whatever things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye received them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:24 
 “Says that we should pray constantly and we should keep our minds and hearts fixed constantly on God. “ 1 Thessalonians 5:17 
 Types of Prayer ​Invocation: this is when we call God to be present to us but also remind ourselves that God is always present to us when we call on his name ​Confession: we tell God of our sins ​Thanksgiving: we praise and thank God for his goodness ​Petition: we ask God for the things we need for our life ​Intercession: This is when we pray for other people and the world
