He knows what you need before you ask
You don’t have to tell God
He knows
He knows it all
Jesus said, And I knew that thou hearest me always
God knows everything,
He hears everything,
He hears our thoughts
He who looks on the heart, knows our intentions
and surely He hears our prayers, whether silent or vocal:
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said,
Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
And I knew that thou hearest me always:
but because of the people which stand by I said it,
that they may believe that thou hast sent me. John 11:41-42
So others may believe, Jesus spoke out loud
and Lazarus was raised from the dead
Whether it be loud or unheard,
God hears and He will respond accordingly
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him…
…After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:7-13
And when you stand to pray,
if you hold anything against another,
forgive it, so that your Father in heaven
will forgive your trespasses as well. Mark 11:25
Keeping our hearts clean in His sight
means God will hear us without hindrance
The Sermon on the Mount is filled with much direction on prayer
Don’t pray to be seen of men
Pray in secret
Your Father knows what you need before you ask
Pray The Lord’s Prayer
Have faith
You must forgive and have no ought,
otherwise don’t bother, be reconciled first, then pray
Don’t be concerned with earthly needs
Seek the Kingdom of Heaven
Ask, Seek, Knock
Trust God to give you good things
Take to heart what Jesus taught and you will be considered wise
The rules of prayer are written,
but you must seek Him to understand them and their importance
He has given us guidelines and commands regarding prayer
He sometimes did not listen or hear prayers
no matter how fervently people cried out
There comes a time when the door can be shut
Make sure that doesn’t happen to you
Seek Him while He may be found,
call ye upon Him while He is near Isaiah 55:6
