Every morning I sit with my Bible, a journal and a pen, coming before the Lord in prayer and Bible study, what I have always call “my quiet time”.  I believe it is a necessity for any Christian and without it, I personally feel lost.  Prayer is our connection with and way to communicate with our Heavenly Father.

Prayer though it should come easily is hard for many of us.  We do not let the words flow as we do with a human friend, though we are talking with the most trusted friend any of us could ever have or want, Jesus Christ, therefore it should be an easy conversation to have.
I truly believe in the power of prayer and believe that you can pray about anything. The Bible tells us we are to

“cast all our cares upon Him, because He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)

The Lord truly wants us to bring our burdens and cares to Him through prayer. We are to pray about everything to “pray without ceasing.”
Here are some things that you can pray about:

1. Everyday life situations. You can pray about your friends, your worries, your grades, peer pressure, and your job. LIFE! God understands and He wants you to come to Him with it all.

2. For others. Pray for others, intercession is a privilege and we should always intercede on the behalf of others whether they have asked us to or not, whether they are sick, in need or you just want to thank God for them.

3. The future. Yes, it’s uncertain to us, but God knows all about it, praying for God’s will in our lives will help us to find the future that is best for us, the right path!

4. Thanksgivings. We don’t want to just ASK God for things, we want to take time to THANK HIM for things as well. Thank God for the many blessings he has given you and your family!

5. Your feelings. God can handle it. Feel angry? PRAY, Hurt? PRAY, Guilty? PRAY. Prayer is always a good answer to how you are feeling.
