Sir/Ma,
Look at the Lord's Prayer as thought by our Lord Jesus.
We need to seperate doctrine from criptures. Lord Jesus tought us a different way.
I am keenly looking forward to your anwer because I used to pray the way you suggested but now I don't because I found another way in the scriptures. Even as I was praying wrongly, He still hears my prayers but I want to continue in the right path Jesus tought us.

jesusjnr2020:
Nobody can teach you how to pray better than the prayer Master Himself called Jesus.

His perfect prayers are there for you to learn from and get answers to whatever questions you may have about prayers.

The perfect life He lived, the power He had to overcome temptations, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, cleanse the lepers, exercise authority over the winds and the seas, to feed five thousand men with five loaves of bread etc. were a testament to His prayer life.

If you want to do likewise, the best way to achieve that is to learn from the prayer Master Himself.

God bless.

Thank you Sir/Ma,
I read the scriptures and found out that people were with Jesus and asked him to teach them how to pray for the purpose of getting result of prayers. They must have prayed stayed with him, moved with him and eat with him and even saw him got result of prayers in their presence. While they asked Jesus how to pray, they were with him. (These afore mentioned points were my assuptions)
Jesus did not teach us to ask for forginess of sins as first aspect of our prayer but many Christians today think about purification by asking for forgiveness of sins thinking this prayer request will make them pure in the presence of God.
In the Lord's prayer, after thanking and praising God, GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD comes before AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESSPASSES.
Christ is our rightheousness. God sees us through Jesus Christ. He said " No one comes to the Father except through me" Jesus referred to Himself.
For anyone evangelising out there. Please, you can make the prayer simple after a convert accepts Jesus as his/her personal Lord and saviour

This topic is to encourage others to fellowship and have personal relationship with God and develop the mind of being prayerful in all we do as Christians.

As a believer and a follwer of Christ, follwing the new testament teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When I pray, I first thank God and declare His Lordship over everything in this world and everything that has to do with me, thanking him always.

1.Is it right to ask for forgiveness of sin before even praising God and continue with any other prayer request
or
2. Praise and thank God and ask for forginess of sins and continue with any other prayer request
or
3. Praise and thank God, Ask for what I need and wants then ask for forgiveness of sins. for the bible says
" Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." JAMES 4:3 KJV

People of God, please what is the right way or approach to praying a simple prayer?

jesusjnr2020:
It appears you already have preconceptions about prayer, so why ask?

I have said what to me was the right example to follow when it comes to prayer, so If you really wanted to get my thoughts concerning that, please deduct the answer to whatever question you have from that.

That said, I believe that the most important factor in prayer is the heart of a man. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks." Hence I believe that we should be more concerned about the contents of our hearts than the arrangement or patterns of prayer.

I believe that once we got that right, we would be fine, because the state of our hearts matters more to God than the words we speak with our mouths.

I also believe that prayer should be instinctive at the beginning and not stereotyped. The prayer the Lord gave to us, was not with the intention for it to be repeated, but to serve as a guide.

Thanks and God bless.

Without righteousness, even your requests for forgiveness of sins is an abomination to God since all the prayers — pleas, requests, petitions— of the unrighteous are an abomination to God.

■ we are already righteous through Christ unless if you don't believe in Christ. jesus Christ is our righteousness, we are righteous through him.

19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I tell you, unless [b]your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.[/b] - Matthew 5 vs 19 - 20

1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, - Matthew 6 vs 1 - 3

32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. - Matthew 6 vs 32 - 34

48 What I am saying is that you must be perfect, just as your Father in Heaven is perfect. - Matthew 5 vs 48

■ No one is righteous before God psalm 143:2. job 25:1-6.
■ God made Christ our wisdom, our righteousness 1cor 1:28-30. righteousness of God is usually received as a gift through believing (Faith). Rom 1:17. ROM 3:10--. ROM 4:1-5. gal 3:6-14. Phil 3:7.
■ Righteousness is not through work, its usually a gift through faith, that is why the holy book say we should boast in God because its not by our work.

1 Only fools think there is no God. People like that are evil and do terrible things. They never do what is right.
2 God looks down from heaven to see if there is anyone who is wise, anyone who looks to him for help.
3 But everyone has turned away from him. Everyone has become evil. No one does anything good. No, not one person!
4 Those who are evil treat my people like bread to be eaten. And they never ask for God’s help. Don’t they understand what they are doing? - Psalm 53 vs 1 - 3

8 Lord, show me your right way of living and make it easy for me to follow. People are looking for my weaknesses, so show me how you want me to live.
9 My enemies never tell the truth. They only want to destroy people. Their words come from mouths that are like open graves. They use their lying tongues to deceive others.[a]
10 Punish them, God! Let them be caught in their own traps. They have turned against you, so punish them for their many crimes. - Psalm 5 vs 8 - 10

1 Lord, save me from people who are evil. Protect me from those who are cruel,
2 from those who plan to do evil and always cause trouble.
3 Their words are as harmful as the fangs of a snake, as deadly as its venom. Selah
4 Lord, save me from the wicked! Protect me from these cruel people who plan to hurt me.
5 These proud people are trying to trap me. They spread nets to catch me; they set traps in my path. Selah - Psalm 140 vs 1 - 5

10 My son, those who love to do wrong will try to trick you. Don’t listen to them.
11 They will say, “Come with us. Let’s hide and beat to death anyone who happens to walk by.
12 We will swallow them whole, as the grave swallows the dying.
13 We will take everything they have and fill our houses with stolen goods.
14 So join us, and you can share everything we get.”
15 My son, don’t follow them. Don’t even take the first step along that path.
16 They run to do something evil, and they cannot wait to kill someone. - Proverbs 1 vs 10 - 15

1 Look, the Lord’s power is enough to save you. He can hear you when you ask him for help.
2 It is your sins that separate you from your God. He turns away from you when he sees them.
3 That’s because your hands are covered with blood from the people you murdered. You tell lies and say evil things.
4 You can’t be trusted, even in court. You lie about each other and depend on false arguments to win your cases. You create pain and produce wickedness.
5 You hatch evil, like eggs from a poisonous snake. Anyone who eats the eggs will die. And if you break one of them open, a poisonous snake will come out. Your lies are like spider webs.
6 They cannot be used for clothes, and you cannot cover yourself with them. Your hands are always busy sinning and hurting others.
7 Your feet run toward evil. You are always ready to kill innocent people. You think of nothing but evil. Everywhere you go you cause trouble and ruin.
8 You don’t know how to live in peace. You don’t do what is right and fair. You are crooked, and anyone who lives like that will never know true peace. - Isaiah 59 vs 1 - 8

1 Deep in the hearts of the wicked a voice tells them to do wrong. They have no respect for God.
2 They lie to themselves. They don’t see their own faults, so they are not sorry for what they do.
3 Their words are wicked lies. They have stopped doing anything wise or good.
4 They make wicked plans in bed at night. They choose a way of life that does no good. And they never say no to anything evil. - Psalm 36 vs 1 - 4

1 After all these things happened, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision. God said, “Abram, don’t be afraid. I will defend you and give you a great reward.”
2 But Abram said, “Lord God, there is nothing you can give me that will make me happy, because I have no son. My slave Eliezer from Damascus will get everything I own after I die.”
3 Abram said, “You have given me no son, so a slave born in my house will get everything I have.”
4 Then the Lord spoke to Abram and said, “That slave will not be the one to get what you have. You will have a son who will get everything you own.”
5 Then God led Abram outside and said, “Look at the sky. See the many stars. There are so many you cannot count them. Your family will be like that.”
6 Abram believed the Lord, and because of this faith the Lord accepted him as one who has done what is right.
7 He said to Abram, “I am the Lord who led you from Ur of Babylonia. I did this so that I could give you this land. You will own this land.” - Genesis 15 vs 1 - 7

1. Now there was a famine. This was like the famine that happened during Abraham’s life. So Isaac went to the town of Gerar, to King Abimelech of the Philistines.
2 The Lord spoke to Isaac and said, “Don’t go down to Egypt. Live in the land that I commanded you to live in.
3 Stay in this land, and I will be with you. I will bless you. I will give you and your family all these lands. I will do what I promised to Abraham your father.
4 I will make your family as many as the stars of heaven, and I will give all these lands to your family. Through your descendants[a] every nation on earth will be blessed.
5 I will do this because your father Abraham obeyed my words and did what I said. He obeyed my commands, my laws, and my rules.” - Genesis 26 vs 1 - 5

1. So what can we say about Abraham, the father of our people? What did he learn about faith?
2 If Abraham was made right by the things he did, he had a reason to boast about himself. But God knew different.
3 That’s why the Scriptures say, “Abraham believed God, and because of this he was accepted as one who is right with God.”
4 When people work, their pay is not given to them as a gift. They earn the pay they get.
5 But people cannot do any work that will make them right with God. So they must trust in him. Then he accepts their faith, and that makes them right with him. He is the one who makes even evil people right.
6 David said the same thing when he was talking about the blessing people have when God accepts them as good without looking at what they have done:
7 “It is a great blessing when people are forgiven for the wrongs they have done, when their sins are erased!
8 It is a great blessing when the Lord accepts people as if they are without sin!” - Romans 4 vs 1 - 8
