The Procedure of Prayer that Connects With God’s Plan (Psalms 100:1-5)
God listens to and answers all prayers. In order to discover God‘s plan, power, and will, when and for what should we pray? It is very important to know this because it is the key influence in the life of a Christian. So, when do we pray? And for what do we pray?
1.At normals times, we must pray according to God’s word (Heb 4:12)
1)Prayer is communication with God, so we ought to listen to His word
2)God’s word is the answer to all problems
3)God’s word is a guidebook for all people
4)God’s word is a door to all power
5)God’s word contains His Will
6)God’s word is a guiding principle for everything (every event)
7)God’s word is a prophecy for the future

9)Therefore, we should receive God’s word in worship and pray with it daily
2.Special Answer
There are many times when the Lord gives us special answers (emergency ministry). She gives special answers in times of trouble, temptation, problems, discouragement, and disappointment. Not only do most Christians not play, they begin to doubt when caught up in these problems. Refer to Philippines 4:6-7, Jeremiah 33:1-3, James 1:1-5, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
