Jesus gave us a model of prayer in Matthew six, a template for communicating with the Lord.  

• Godly Prayer is regular: Our relationship with God must consist of more than emergency intervention. We must daily spend time in prayer.
• Godly prayer is reverent: We cannot forget that the one we pray to is the one who created the heavens and the earth.
• Godly prayer is righteous: When our prayers focus on God’s will our priorities shift and align with God’s character and plan.
