with God
 Prayer
-is the raising of ones mind and heart
to God or the requesting of good
things from God.( CCC #2559)
 What is Prayer?
Psalm 19:14 Kahimut-an mo
unta ang akong mga pulong ug
hunahuna, O Ginoo nga akong
dalangpanan ug akong Manluluwas.

Prayer is an act of worship in which we

speak to God, not only with our words,
but from our hearts.
There are 4 different basic types of vocal or mental prayer.

A
Adoration/ Praise (Pagdayeg) alang sa kaayo sa Ginoo.

C Confession (Kumpisal) mangayo ug kapasayloan sa atong mga nahimo

nga dili Maayo.

T Thanksgiving (Pagpasalamat) sa mga grasya nga nadawat gikan sa

atong Langitnong Amahan.

S Suplication (Pangamuyo)
To Whom Should We Pray?
Philippians 4:6
Ayaw kamo kabalaka sa bisan unsa
kondili pangayoa sa Dios ang inyong
gikinahanglan uban ang pagpasalamat sa
tanan ninyong pag-ampo.
We should pray to the true God
only, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
and not to idols, saints or anything
God has created.
Whose prayers
does God hear?
1 Peter 3:12 The eyes of the Lord
are on the righteous and
His ears are attentive to their prayer.
Only those who believe in Jesus
Christ may pray to God
and expect to be heard.
What kind of prayers may a
believer bring to God?
1 Timothy 2:1 Busa una sa tanan, awhagon ko
kamo sa pag-ampo alang sa tanang tawo, pangayoa
gikan sa Dios ang ilang mga gikinahanglan ug
pasalamati siya.
Philippians 4:6 Ayaw kamo kabalaka sa bisan unsa kondili
pangayoa sa Dios ang inyong gikinahanglan uban ang
pagpasalamat sa tanan ninyong pag-ampo.

A believer may bring prayers

of request or thanksgiving to God
about anyone or anything.
Where and when may we pray?
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 Pray continually,
give thanks in all circumstances.

Ephesians 6:18 Pray in the Spirit on all

occasions.
1 Timothy 2:8 I want men everywhere to lift
up holy hands in prayer.

A believer may pray

anywhere and at any time.

 How should we pray?
John 16:23 My Father will give you
whatever you ask in My name.

James 1:6-7 When he asks Me he must

believe and not doubt, for he who doubts . . .
will not receive anything from the Lord.

We should pray with firm confidence

that for Jesus sake our prayers will be
answered.
 Why do we address God as
Our Father in heaven?
2 Corinthians 6:18 I will be a Father to you
and you will be My sons and daughters.
Galatians 3:26 You are all sons of God
through faith in Jesus Christ.
1 John 3:1 How great is the love the
Father has lavished on us that we should be
called children of God. That is what we are.
By faith God is our true Father and we
are His true children.
 GOD IS OUR FATHER

GODS CHILDREN GODS CHILDREN

OUR TRUE & LOVING FATHER WHO

Why does Jesus want us to remember the
relationship we have with God by faith?

Romans 8:15 You did not receive a spirit that

makes you a slave to fear, but a spirit of sonship
that you may cry out, Abba (Daddy) Father.
Ephesians 3:12 In Him and through faith in
Him, we may approach God with freedom and
confidence.
Jesus wants us to remember that God is
our loving Father by faith so that we may
call on Him confidently without fear.
What does the word "our" mean for
us when we pray, "Our Father"?

James 5:16 Confess your sins to each

other and pray for each other . . . The
prayer of a righteous man is powerful and
effective.

In Jesus all believers are children

of the one Father and should pray
for and with one another.
 What do the words "who art
(is) in heaven" say about God?
Psalm 124:8 Our help is in the name of
the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Luke 1:37 Nothing is impossible with God.

These words assure us that our

heavenly Father, as Lord over all, has
the power to grant our prayers.

We do not pray that God's kingdom
of power would come, because that is
already present everywhere, but we
ask God to give us His Holy Spirit so
that we believe His Word and lead
godly lives as members of His

The Fifth Petition

 We Respond to Gods Gift of
Forgiveness
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate
to one another, forgiving each other just
as in Christ, God forgave you.
"Inasmuch as we sin greatly against God every day
and yet He forgives it all through grace, we must
always forgive our neighbor who does us harm,
violence, injustice and bears malice toward us... If you
do not forgive, do not think that God forgives you"
(Large Catechism III 94-95).
