Week 3 Day 3
The next step in learning to pray in faith involves focusing on who the father is and what he means to you. Jesus did not just teach disciples how to pray. He taught them how to know the Father through prayer. Focusing on Him will continue to set the pace for your quiet time. It will help you overcome distractions or demands to acknowledge the One whose throne you are approaching. It will help you communicate with Him. Set other thoughts aside as you continue to make a deliberate effort to concentrate on the Father. Praise is based on adoration of God. Adoration is what you do in worship.
Proclaiming His Worth
The word praise originates from the Latin word meaning value or price. Thus, to give praise to God is to proclaim His merit or worth. Whether you are kneeling, standing, sitting, or reclining does not matter. Regardless of how you praise Him and under what circumstances, praise is an important element of prayer. It is to be constant. Praise raises your prayer life above yourself. Praise focuses on the person of God.
Some of God’s names that we may find in the bible reveal His character- ways He works in your life. In Psalm 91 some of God’s names where revealed. Let’s use Psalm 91 to break down God’s name and meaning.
