Week 2, Day 3
"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22

Four Dimensions of Prayer
Do you think that prayer is merely requesting God for things? That is not what the Word tells us. There are at least four dimensions of prayer: ACTS

Adoration - Express your love to God for who He is
Confession - Seek God's forgiveness for sin in your life
Thanksgiving - Express your thanks to God for what He has done
Supplication - Seek God's answers for your need and the needs of others

STUDY VERSES:
Psalm 9:1-2

Psalm 100:4

1 John 1:9

1 John 5:14-15

STUDY QUESTIONS:
1. What do each of these verses show you about prayer?
2. How do you express your adoration to God?
3. Have you asked God for forgiveness today? Do you routinely ask Him to forgive your sins?
4. Do you keep a gratitude list, journal or prayer? If not, will you start today?
5. Do you bring needs that are not your own to God? Do you pray for more than your family? Do you pray for persecuted Christians around the world? World leaders? Oppressed people? Dying children and elderly?

Father, help me to express my love for you and my belief in you through my prayer. Guide me to a righteous and lively prayer life. Give me the discipline and strength to pray on a regular basis. You said in your Word that through prayer and fasting You will break the strongholds of sin and evil in our life. Let me develop a routine prayer life that is filled by your Holy Spirit. Praise You Jesus, Thank You Jehovah Jireh, Glory to You YAHWEH, Guide us Holy Spirit in love, obedience and patience. Until tomorrow Beloveds, Sister, lisa
