Prayer for a believer is paramount; the Lord’s prayer is a model for believers of how to pray.

• Ask God for provision: In prayer, be content with your circumstances. Ask God to meet your needs instead of your selfish desires.
• Ask God for Pardon: God’s provision is not dependent on our limitations. Do not insult God’s grace by asking for what has already been provided.
• Ask God for protection: The Lord lead’s us through adversity to build character and faith. We are called to flee from temptation and to run to our provider.
• Ask God with an attitude of praise: Regardless of our situation, God is in control and worthy of praise.
