A GUIDE to FOLLOW ALONG
4 WEEK PLAN
Prayer
A pattern is given to us to follow along with the mapped-out blueprint.

The pattern of prayer is found in Matthew 6:9-13 and we can follow after it.
“ Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Prayer is essential in the life of a believer. Just as Esther in biblical times, came boldly before the throne, to seek favor, and to petition for her people, we too can come boldly, and courageously before our King.
Prayer is a conversation, a dialog, between you and a higher power – God, about things that matter, and are important to you.

As a seamstress, I know the importance of patterns.
In sewing and fashion design, a pattern is the template from which the parts of a garment are traced onto woven or knitted fabrics before being cut out and assembled.
Patterns are made to be followed, and patterned after, especially when making a specific product or working with a certain material. If we do not follow along, or we refuse to stay on track, we may cut too close, or not close enough, making more work for ourselves. Trust me, experience is the best lesson in life and I lived the moment.
I asked a little boy in my class, ” Do you know what prayer is?
He shook his head, “No”
I got down to his level, as we all should do for those who are small in the faith and are new believers in Christ.
We can pray to God about others
We can ask God for things we need and desire.
We can Praise him for how wonderful he is
We can worship him for who he is !
He looked at me and smiled, oh OK
Then I asked him, “So can you pray”?
He nodded joyfully, YES!
Bless my parents. Thank you for my teachers.
And then I asked the rest of the class, can you pray, they all joyfully said YES. Just from observing and listening they learned how to pray. As long as I live I will teach prayer this way.
Prayer can be prayed in six different ways
- REQUEST When making a Request, asking God for things we need and desire.
- WORSHIP When Worshiping God for who he is and what he has done for us
- PRAISE Through Praise, by singing and reverencing God.
- PETITION By Petitioning our needs and other people’s needs before our King
- INTERCESSION Through Intercession by praying and speaking on behalf of others.
- GIVING OF THANKS Through Giving of Thanks for the things God has blessed you.
Prayer can also be prayed through tears, when we have nothing else to say, through songs when we have a hard time expressing ourselves, or through the word of God, when we can’t find words to say.
Prayer is simply this, a conversation in a different forms of communication to the higher power than yourself.
When we pray, our creator listens!
Do you feel helpless? Do you lack confidence? Are you afraid? Talk to God about the things that matter to you, like you would your friend, or a loved one.
