| Prayer is an essential element in spiritual vitality. It’s in prayer that we develop the close personal relationship with God that makes his spirit a power in our lives. We repent in prayer. It’s in prayer that we labor for the salvation not only of ourselves but of others. It’s in prayer that we give praise and thanksgiving to God and seek of him those things of which we have need. It’s vital to pray–and to understand how to pray, when, for what. Even if you have been praying for years, it would be worthwhile for any and all of us to review from time to time principles revealed in the Bible regarding prayer.

| Daily and effective prayer is essential to one’s relationship with God. We are instructed in Scripture “…in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6). We are given guidelines in various scriptures regarding prayer, including how to pray, in what spirit and attitude we should pray, and specific things we should pray for. How often do you remind yourself of these precepts, and are you applying them in your prayers daily? The prayers of those faithful to God are of vital importance to him. And though he may not fulfill all of our requests immediately, he will in the long run answer the prayers of his faithful servants in a positive way. We must also see the vital importance of prayer pleasing and acceptable to God. It is a key to being granted a place in the Kingdom of God.
