| | | | | What To Pray About - Marlene Custer
I have heard people lament, “I know I need to pray more, but I feel so inadequate. I don’t know what to say.” Most would agree that prayer needs to be more than a quick call in an emergency. So, let me make some suggestions.
Let’s look at the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. First of all, I think Jesus wants us to acknowledge God as our Father, giving Him the reverence He deserves. Thank Him for Jesus and ask for His will to be done in your life.
Pray for your family and friends. Pray that His will would be done in their lives. Can you imagine what life would be like if everything was done on earth as it is in Heaven?
Ask and expect God to meet daily needs—not all your wants, but needs.
We must be sure to ask for His forgiveness, (Matthew 6:12 NIV). I don’t think this refers to our salvation, but to those transgressions we do without thinking. We are so prone to selfishness and jealousy.
Just as I want God’s forgiveness, I must be willing to pray for those who have hurt me, and forgive them, (Matthew 6:14-15 NIV).
Finally, we must pray to not give in to the tempter’s enticements. The tempter knows our weaknesses; we need God’s strength to resist, (Matthew 6:13 NIV).
Certainly, there are many other things to pray for, but this list is a good start. Revelation 5:8 NIV refers to “golden bowls full of incense” in Heaven, which are “the prayers of the saints.” Let’s keep those bowls full!
“Jesus, please help me to be careful to take time to pray. Lead me as I praise the Father, and bring my requests to Him. Amen.”

"After reading your book, and being that I’m a cop, the evidence was compelling so the choice became easy. Thank you for being a big part of saving my life and seeing the truth about Jesus. My life has drastically changed for the better!!! I’ve handed out many of your books already, and can hardly wait to give more away! Thank you. And God bless!"

This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
