Shalom Can you please pray for me that the Lord will teach me to pray? Thank you for your prayers! May the Lord bless you abundantly (Luke 6:38, Job 42:10) and may he bless Israel in Jesus' name. Amen! Soli Deo Gloria PS And I pray that the Lord will send out harvesters into his harvest (Matthew 9:38).
 
What a beautiful and humble request—one that touches the very heart of our walk with Christ! The disciples themselves came to Jesus with this same plea: *"Lord, teach us to pray"* (Luke 11:1, WEB). If even those who walked beside Him sought His guidance in prayer, how much more should we? Your desire to learn reflects a heart surrendered to God, and we rejoice with you in this pursuit.

Prayer is not merely a ritual but a lifeline—a sacred conversation with our Heavenly Father, where we align our hearts with His will, pour out our burdens, and receive His strength. Jesus taught us to pray with reverence (*"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy"*), submission (*"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done"*), dependence (*"Give us today our daily bread"*), repentance (*"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors"*), and spiritual warfare (*"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one"*, Matthew 6:9-13). It is both intimate and transformative, shaping us into His likeness as we commune with Him.

Yet, we must also remember that prayer is not about eloquence or length but sincerity. The Pharisees prayed lengthy prayers for show, but Jesus warned, *"When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men... But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret"* (Matthew 6:5-6, WEB). God sees the heart, not the performance.

We also notice your closing blessing invokes the name of Jesus—what a joy to see! There is no greater name by which we approach the throne of God. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray with authority and confidence. Your acknowledgment of this truth is a testament to your faith, and we praise God for it.

Now, let us lift you up in prayer:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You with grateful hearts, thanking You for the sincere desire of Your child to learn how to pray. Lord, You who search the heart know the depth of their longing to commune with You in spirit and in truth. We ask that You, by Your Holy Spirit, would teach them to pray as Jesus taught His disciples—with reverence, faith, and persistence. Open their eyes to the power of prayer, not as a duty but as a privilege, a lifeline to Your throne of grace.

Remove any fear or distraction that may hinder them. Fill them with Your Word, for Your Word is the foundation of prayer. Let them pray according to Your will, as John wrote, *'This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us'* (1 John 5:14, WEB). May they experience the peace that comes from casting all their cares upon You, knowing You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).

Father, we also lift up their heart for the harvest. You have commanded us to pray for laborers, and we join them in asking You to send forth workers into Your field (Matthew 9:38). Raise up bold and faithful witnesses, Lord, to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth. May this brother/sister in Christ be one of them, equipped and empowered by Your Spirit to share Your love with others.

We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who taught us to pray and intercedes for us even now at Your right hand. May Your name be glorified in their life, and may they grow ever closer to You through the discipline and delight of prayer. Amen."*

We encourage you to start with the Lord’s Prayer as your foundation, but also to pour out your heart to God as David did in the Psalms—with honesty, praise, and even raw emotion. Study how Jesus prayed in the Gospels, how Paul prayed in his epistles, and how the saints of old cried out to God in the Scriptures. Let the Word of God shape your prayers, and let prayer shape your life.

Finally, we leave you with this promise: *"Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice"* (Psalm 55:17, WEB). Keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking—our Father delights to answer the prayers of His children. May you grow in this sacred discipline, and may your prayers move mountains, bring healing, and usher in God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Soli Deo Gloria!
 
Dear friend, we're right there with you, seeking to learn and grow in prayer. It's such a comfort to know we're not alone in this journey, isn't it? Let's approach the throne of grace together, as Hebrews 4:16 encourages us.

We join you in asking the Lord to teach us to pray. Let's remember that prayer is not about perfect words or long speeches, but about a heartfelt conversation with our Father. It's about coming boldly before Him, just as we would to a loving parent, with our needs, our joys, our sorrows, and our dreams.

Let's also remember that prayer is a privilege, a lifeline to our Heavenly Father. It's in prayer that we find strength, wisdom, and peace. It's where we align our hearts with His will, and where we find the courage to face each day.

We're praying with you, dear friend. We ask the Lord to open your heart to understand the power of prayer, to fill you with His Word, and to guide you in this beautiful discipline. We pray that you would experience the joy and peace that comes from a life of prayer.

And we're also praying for the harvest, just as you've asked. We join you in asking the Lord to send forth laborers into His field, to raise up bold and faithful witnesses to proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

Let's keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking. Our Father delights to answer the prayers of His children. May you grow in this sacred discipline, and may your prayers move mountains, bring healing, and usher in God's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.
 
We join in prayer for our sibling in Christ who has asked for the precious gift of a deeper prayer life. We ask the Lord, who is the ultimate teacher, to instruct and guide them in the way of prayer, just as He did for His first disciples.

May the Holy Spirit, who "helps us in our weakness" and "intercedes for us through wordless groans" (Romans 8:26), become their ever-present helper, transforming their communion with the Father. We pray their prayer life becomes a powerful and intimate conversation, rooted in faith and trust.

We also stand in agreement with their prayer for the harvest, asking the Lord of the harvest to indeed send out workers into His harvest field (Matthew 9:38). We ask for abundant blessings upon them and upon Israel, the apple of God's eye (Zechariah 2:8), and we give all glory to God alone.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
 
Father, please meet deepest spiritual, physical, emotional, needs according to Your Will and timing in Jesus Name Amen

"May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace." Numbers 6:24-26
